The Zone to host an open house on Sept. 30 Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Community - The first thing a person notices when they walk into The Zone is a new light, open and energetic feeling. The space, located in the Lion Dick Brulé Community Centre in Glen Cairn, now boasts sky-blue walls, which are lined with comfortable couches; a pool table dominates the centre of the room, while a computer desk is tucked away in a corner, pumping out chart-topping tunes. There is still some work to be done, such as acquiring new lighting as well as a writing desk for homework, and each youth will be given a tile to paint or decorate before the drop-in centre hosts an open house at the end of the month. “We worked really hard to fix up the space,” said Jessie Cornford, a child and youth worker with The Zone. Chase McDonald, 14, has been using the drop-in for almost a year. He helped pick the new colours on the walls and paint the space. “To have fun; meet new people,” he said is the reason he decided to check out the space last October. He’s also received volunteer hours for school and participated in outdoor cleanups. The teens are planning an open house on Sept. 30 to give the community a chance to see their handiwork and learn more about what drop-in offers. See THE ZONE, page 2

The Zone rises from ashes of youth centre Continued from page 1

The Zone grew out of the old Kanata Youth Centre after it closed its doors in 2008. The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre took over the operations after receiving funding from the city and renovated and reopened the drop-in space as The Zone in Jan. 2009. The Zone has undergone changes since 2009, such as moving to drop-ins once-aweek, but one thing that remains the same is the sense of energy, acceptance and fun. Each youth who walked through the door on Aug. 26 was greeted with a chorus of welcoming shouts and enquiries about how their day had gone. Cornford gave the teens the task of writing a “warm fuzzy,” a nice note about someone else in the room. Then they were read out loud. Some of the notes were humorous, making everyone laugh. Others were more serious, eliciting “Awws” from the receiver of the note. All were kind. “The program itself addresses different needs for different youth,” she said. This includes teens who are new to the area

and don’t know anyone, those going through a tough time at home, the need for a different peer group or just a safe space to hang out in once a week. “It’s a preventative program that addresses the social and emotional health of our youth,” she said. The Monday evening dropin runs from 5 to 9 p.m. and although there is a schedule of activities, it’s up to the youth to choose what they want to do, said Cornford. One regular feature though is the chance to help cook dinner. “The youth help with choosing (the meal) and preparation,” said Conford, adding the Kanata-Hazeldean Lions gave them a new refrigerator. “I’ve never discouraged them from making a mess … and they’re really good cleaners.” Daniel Southworth, 13, said he enjoys the opportunity to participate in a host of fun activities. This past summer the youth visited Mont Cascade Waterpark, toured the War Museum, and visited a Star Wars exhibition. The youths also hosted a movie night featuring Despicable Me on Aug. 25 as a way to thank the community for its sup-

port. Around 150 people turned out for the event even though it was a rainy evening. The movie was moved inside from its originally scheduled outdoor screening.

“The Zone has been at that space for a little while now and I don’t know if the community really knows that we’re there.” MIA DORÉ MANAGER OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH PROGRAMS, WOCRC

“It was good,” said Brittany Toulove, 19, who helped man the popcorn machine. The purpose was “to bring in the community to see what we can do with them.” Mia Doré, manager of the children and youth programs at the community resource centre, said the youth put the evening together and were responsible for getting the word out through flyering, postering and promot-

ing. “The youth wanted to do something to give back to the community; to say ‘we’re here, we want to contribute, we wanted to thank you,’” she said. “The Zone has been at that space for a little while now and I don’t know if the community really knows that we’re there.” The Zone provides a safe space for youth to have conversations and interact with each other, as well as learn about healthy relationships, gain volunteer hours and help finding employment. “It is a safe and supervised youth drop-in, said Doré. Sarah Jones, 19, heard about The Zone from a friend. She’s been frequenting the drop-ins for a couple of years, she said. “I like it here,” she said. “It’s fun.” Upcoming activities at The Zone for September include: • A back-to-school barbecue on Sept. 9 • Games night with prizes on Sept. 16 • A visit to the ByWard Market on Sept. 23 • Open house on Sept. 30 For more details, visit wocrc. ca or call 613-591-3686.

Equestrian park offers horse events Sept. 8 Sports - Last fall the Nepean National Equestrian Park officially closed and a community of horse lovers and riding enthusiasts were left to move on to greener pastures, so-to-speak. Riding students, parents, horse owners, and workers were forced to say goodbye to

the park and all it had brought into their lives. But on Sunday, Sept. 8, there is a chance for a park reunion as Eventing at the Park hosts the third horse trials at the equestrian park. Kicking off in the spring of 2012, Eventing at the Park is organized by Beth Mansfield

Hard Rock Hotel & Casino

and Milo Cruikshank. The two plan months in advance to guarantee a fun-filled and organized day of eventing. Last year they successfully ran and organized both the spring and fall horse trials at the Equestrian Park, but once it was announced that the park would be officially

closing late in 2012, the fate of Eventing at the Park was in doubt. But both Beth and Milo are pleased and excited that through communication with Karen Sparks of the Wesley Clover Foundation, the event is back. While there have been other horse shows using the facility this summer, Eventing at the Park shines a different light, as it is run by two former board-

ers at the park and counts on countless volunteers, a majority of whom are former park students, boarders, or parents. The horse trials always depended on the support of the Equestrian Park community both leading up to and during the day of the event, rain or shine – and this year it will be no different. Beth and Milo have been working hard these past few

weeks to make sure the stadium jumps are in order, the cross country course in tip-top shape and the volunteer positions are covered. A number of past park volunteers have agreed to help out in any way they can as it is a great way to spend the day around horses and horse junkies alike. It is also a great day to reunite with former park friends and the property itself.

sticky weather that struck in late June? It was, in fact, a heat wave that – except for the blip, which was Canada Day – lasted well into the third week of July. I know this because I spent 20 nights in a tent this summer. That’s about a third of July and August, for those of you who aren’t very good at doing quick sums in your head. Most of those nights were balmy. Some saw me kicking off my sleeping bag. Of those 20 nights, only once did I have to dive into the trunk of my SUV with three kids in tow because of a thunderstorm directly overhead. (That wasn’t so nice). And one or two of the 20 mornings that followed did I have to put my rubber boots on because of a smattering of rain that fell in the early morning. A lot of people are merely nostalgic for the summer of 2012, which apparently set a new milestone for Canadian summers. I don’t remember much of 2012, except for the record-breaking temperatures in July, when I happened to be 42 weeks pregnant. The rest is pretty much a blur. It turns out, however, it was a hot one – 11 weeks

of maximum temperatures over 30 C last year. But for anyone stuck in the city – as I was with a newborn -- it was too hot and humid. Nope, the summer of 2013 was much more nicely balanced, in my opinion – hot days, cool nights, some cooling off periods between three, separate heat waves. This is my kind of summer. And for anyone who’s still doubting my judgment of the weather, you may be surprised to know that – despite the soggy month of June – the hours of sunshine over the past three months have matched or exceeded that of 2012. We’ve also had seven weeks with maximum temperatures over 30 degrees this year, which I’d say is pretty decent. People always complain about the weather – it’s too hot, it’s too cold, it’s too wet, it’s too dry – but at the end of the day, the summer is what you make of it. For me, summer 2012 will go down in the family memoirs as good one – after all, I spent more than 30 days on the beach this year, only one of them shivering in a eece sweater. If that’s not the mark of a good summer, I don’t know what is.

ummer is ofďŹ cially over for most of us. All I’m hearing from people around me is what a lousy season we’ve had for weather. It makes me wonder if I’ve been living on another planet; or maybe I’ve ďŹ nally achieved my goal of converting to an optimist; or maybe it’s just that having spent a few years living in Britain, there’s hardly a Canadian summer around that could disappoint me. Sure, we started out pretty wet. I mean, what was June besides a big puddle? One hundred and ďŹ fty millimetres of rainfall, to be precise. But from the moment school was out the weather, in my mind, has been glorious. Of course, it all depends on your expectations. According to one recent study on happiness, 13.9 C is the optimum temperature to keep us feeling good. Somehow, however, I think those complaining about the weather were hoping for a greater number of sweltering days, rather than cool ones. One particularly cynical individual said, “If you had a pool in your backyard, you’d know what a crappy summer it’s been.â€? But really, how warm does it have to be to jump off your back deck into a heated pool? I, on the other hand, like to escape the city whenever the mercury spikes above 25 C. Thanks to my Gatineau Park pass, I’ve spent more than two dozen days aside local lakes. Doesn’t anyone remember the hot,

We deserved a real debate

O

ttawa voters should take note of a particular date on the calendar that passed recently. They should tuck the date away along with the memory of what happened that day, saving it for October next year when they are called upon to elect the next city council. The date is Aug. 28, the day council voted to cast aside what is typically accepted as normal behaviour for municipal bodies in Ontario - open competition, transparent process, regard for rules - and picked the Rideau Carleton Raceway as the only acceptable location for expanded gaming facilities in Ottawa. Voters should remember this date because there are a significant number of councillors who despite expressing legitimate reservations about the motion went ahead and voted for it anyway. Voters should also recall this vote is in contradiction to one held in October 2012, when the same council voted in favour of an open process for determining the site. During the course of the casino debate at city hall, councillors consistently raised concerns about public health issues, a convoluted process and the varying effects of seeing a new gaming facility placed at the raceway or at some other location. These are all valid concerns. If members of council have concerns, they

should look to address them before approving something as significant to the city as a new casino. Instead, we see Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess point to many of those issues only to say “I’ve consistently voted yes and held my nose doing it.� We also see Bay Coun. Mark Taylor saying “this has been an unclear and unclean process.� His residents, he said, “want a more open process,� but “we haven’t gotten there yet.� He voted in favour of the motion. And for College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, it was “not the best decision, but it’s the least worst.� It has become the habit of this council to approve everything that comes before it, whether there are flaws or not. It is the job of councillors to scrutinize and challenge things. If something smells a little off, why not amend it? Better to reject a motion that doesn’t sit right than to pass it despite any reservations. That’s why there are councillors rather than just a mayor who runs the city by fiat. Following the bitter divisions that marked many debates during the last council term under mayor Larry O’Brien, the incoming council sought to do business differently. But this should never have led councillors to become afraid to challenging things they don’t feel are right. The residents of Ottawa deserve better from their elected leaders.

Initial thoughts on saving words from the ‘initialism’ scourge

T

here are more important causes, to be sure, but would anybody be interested in trying to save the English language from the curse of initialism? I thought of this the other day when dealing with a respected Ottawa company with a well-known name and being told to make the cheque out to some initials. Oh no, I thought. Another one. It joins KFC, RBC, KLM, TLC, IBM, BP, HBC — outfits that prefer to be known by their initials. In some cases, you can understand it. The initials KLM refer to the words for Dutch national airlines in Dutch. KLM is less likely to confuse people. In the case of KFC, you will recall that “fried� became a dirty word some time ago but Kentucky Fried Chicken had too much invested in its brand to change it to something more nutritionally correct. So KFC it became. Likewise, the banks woke up one day and realized that a lot of people hated banks. This is not a good thing to ponder if you happen to be a bank and have the word “bank� in your name. That’s why we have BMO instead of “Bank of Montreal,� RBC instead of “Royal Bank of Canada.�

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town British Petroleum might have become BP because Americans weren’t used to using the word petroleum. Or it might be because oil companies don’t like to be thought of as oil companies. I don’t have any idea why the Hudson’s Bay Company, an organization with a deep historical association with Canada, would want to become HBC. What’s wrong with any of those words? It may just be that someone sold them on the idea that initials are more modern. TLC is what The Learning Channel calls itself. This is better than what most people call it, namely, “the station that only has programs about wedding dresses.� At one time, TLC stood for “tender, loving care,� so maybe the choice of initials is deliberate.

There are times when sticking with words would help, such as in the case of WWF, which means World Wildlife Federation, but used to also mean World Wrestling Federation. You wouldn’t want to call the wrong one by mistake if you had some seals you wanted saved. Many of these companies, like IBM, have been around for decades and their initials are well-known. There is no quarrel with them. But it does seem odd that others are so anxious to abandon perfectly good words. There is a sports talk show on TV called “Pardon the Interruption.� The words perfectly describe the show, in which two commentators continually interrupt each other. But now it’s known as PTI. There’s another one called “Off the Record,� that is more commonly called OTR. Why? Why go to all the trouble of trying to name a show, a network, a bank, and then abandon it to sink in a sea of alphabet soup? Definitely Not the Opera was a clever title for a Saturday afternoon CBC radio show. DNTO is not a clever title. Sometimes substituting initials for words doesn’t even save syllables. There is a legendary ice cream joint in Winnipeg called the Bridge Drive-In. It’s right beside a bridge, so

the name is evocative. But the initials, BDI, aren’t. There has to be a reasonable explanation. One answer you hear is that the abbreviated name is easier to use as an Internet address, and indeed you will see this if you look up some companies on the web. As if it weren’t already ruining our lives in other ways, the Internet now has yet another thing to answer for. It’s funny how we’ve always been taught how important words are, how anxious our parents were to hear us speak them. And now this. Guys: use your words.

Cancer screening saves lives Canadian Cancer Society launches new program aimed at LGBTQ communities

Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Cancer screening can save lives. No one knows this better than Marie Robertson. The Centretown resident and community developer for the Ottawa Senior Pride Network was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 1979. “As I was only 27 when I had my cancer surgery, let’s just say the next decade was stressful,” she said in an email interview. “I started getting mammograms in my 40s. I started getting screened for colon cancer when I turned 50. As a cancer survivor, I think I was more aware of cancer as an issue.” But not everyone is aware of the need for, or has access to, health check-ups. Cancer screening hasn’t been promoted in a way that speaks to members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer (LGBTQ) community, said Robertson. “In fact, there has been a lot of mythology regarding screening such as the message that lesbians don’t need to be screened for cervical cancer,” said Robertson. “If you have a cervix, you need to get regular pap smears – it’s as simple as that. And older lesbians need to be screened for breast and colon cancer.” To combat the issue, the Canadian Cancer Society launched its Screening Saves Lives program, reaching out to Ottawa’s LGBTQ community about the importance of colon, breast and cervical cancers screening during Capital Pride on Aug. 25. “Just as the name says, screening saves lives. It saved my life. If I hadn’t been getting

New poster campaign helps address lack of messaging Screening Saves Lives aims to increase cancer screening rates in “hard-to-reach communities,â€? which includes LGBTQ, First Nations and South Asian communities. “LGBTQ communities are much less likely to be regularly screened for colon, breast and cervical cancers, putting them at greater risk of dying from cancer,â€? said Susan Flynn, manager of Screening Saves Lives. “Ottawa has such a vibrant LGBTQ community which is why we’re at Capital Pride this week to provide information and encourage LGBTQ individuals to talk to their doctor about getting screened.â€? According to the Canadian Cancer Society: • Bisexual women are significantly less likely to get a mammogram. The Canadian Community Health Survey found that only 49 per cent of bisexual women ages 50 to 59 have had a mammogram in the past two years compared to 71 per cent of heterosexual women. • The LGBTQ population in Canada faces significant barriers to achieving health because their health needs are poorly understood and because health-care institutions may not be inclusive or welcoming to them.

• LGBTQ communities experience multiple risk factors for developing cancer, such as higher smoking rates, being less likely to have a family doctor and stress from discrimination. • Cancer screening can save lives. For example, colon cancer is 90 per cent curable if caught early. Kevin Linn, senior co-ordinator of Screening Saves Lives, said there are many barriers they are hearing of that prevent the LGBTQ community from seeking cancer screenings. A big one is the lack of messaging directed to the community, he said. So the program is reaching out to health-care providers to “better train them to serve the LGBTQ community,â€? as well as creating advertising and messaging directed towards individuals and couples. “I love the poster campaign that Kevin’s group has created and I think it will be effective in creating discussion in the older LGBT community. Discussion increases people’s awareness and increased awareness means more screening,â€? said Robertson. “There has also been far too much homophobia amongst health-care providers which has resulted in LGBT people not getting regular medical check-ups, never mind cancer screening.â€?

HEALTH AMBASSADORS NEEDED

The Canadian Cancer Society is looking for members of LGBTQ communities who want to get involved in promoting the importance of screening to apply to become volunteer health ambassadors. Screening Saves Lives will train volunteers to deliver cancer screening messages to friends, family, and members of their social networks. “This type of program works because, as health ambassadors are trusted members of the community, they can communicate with peers in a way that large organizations often can’t,� said Flynn. “Health ambassadors are able to change the attitudes of their peers by using appropriate language, sharing personal stories and experiences and by building trust and personal relationships.� Anyone interesting in volunteering or learning more is asked to contact Linn at klinn@ontario.cancer.ca or call 613-723-1744 ext. 3607. “Peer promotion of cancer screening is one of the best ways to promote uptake of cancer screening,� said Linn. The program also launched two new websites, cancer.ca/ getscreened and a Facebook page, facebook.com/LGBTQgetscreened.

Alzheimer’s Society keeps Minds in Motion Ottawa prepares to launch program aimed at battling early stage memory loss jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - The Alzheimer’s Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County is working to launch a new program to help combat dementia. Minds in Motion is a fitness and social program for people experiencing early-stage memory loss, as well as their caregivers. “People with dementia and their caregivers are repeatedly urged by health professionals to stay active and to remain socially connected, but as the dementia progresses, these quality-of-life activities become increasingly more difficult,� said Susan Paul, director of fund development and marketing, who spoke at the Royale retirement residence in Kanata Lakes on Aug. 29. “This program would enable participation in both physical and social activities, which have the potential to slow the progression of dementia.� Paul said she hopes Minds in Motion can be launched in the city and Renfrew County by next spring, as soon as funding is in place and the logistics have been organized.

“Engagement in meaningful activities has been proven to improve mental and physical health, prevent depression and improve general quality of life,� she said. There are 15,000 people currently living with dementia in Ottawa and Renfrew County, said Paul, adding another 2,500 people are diagnosed in the areas every year. For every person with dementia, there are upwards of 10 people – friends, family, co-workers and neighbours – affected by it, she said. “There’s an enormous amount of pressure on a caregiver,� said Paul. “The idea of this program is for a person with dementia and their caregiver, likely a family member, to attend together.� MINDS IN MOTION

Minds in Motion was created in British Columbia and is available in more than a dozen communities, said Paul. A certified fitness instructor leads a 45-minute low-impact class for the first half of the program. See EIGHTY, page 17

Eighty per cent of people with dementia want access to exercise: study Continued from page 15

The second portion of a Minds in Motion class involves socializing and activities. Paul said the Ottawa chapter will likely follow the B.C. model, with the possibility of a few tweaks. “The evaluation in B.C. says to keep it simple and straightforward and not try to make it a complex program … why reinvent the wheel?” she said. “The combination of exercise and social interaction is what people are looking for.”

MRCA picnic on Sept. 8 March Rural Community Association

Community - The March Rural Community Association is hosting a family picnic and barbecue on Sunday Sept. 8, from noon to 4 p.m. Jack and Mary DeKok have invited us to their DeKok Berry Farm at 1070 March Rd. We will have a variety of fun activities for families, kids and adults, including a nature walk with Martha Webber, a treasure hunt, kids’ games, etc. There will be a free barbecue for everyone, thanks to several generous local businesses, so please plan to join us for lunch. Our community will be undergoing some radical changes in the near future, given the planned urban expansion up March Road, eventually including the DeKok Farm. The community association needs your support as we participate in this community design planning. In the meantime, we should enjoy our lovely countryside at every opportunity. All community residents are invited. Our boundaries are the Ottawa River in the east, west to Huntmar Road, north to Thomas Dolan Road, and south to Old Carp Road. So please attend and enjoy the day - and bring your neighbors.

Thank you!

According to the Alzheimer’s Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County client satisfaction survey for 2012-13: • 62.5 per cent of people with dementia would like to have more social opportunities • 83.8 per cent of people with dementia would like access to an exercise program • 60 per cent of caregivers indicated they would like access to more social programming • 40.5 per cent of caregivers indicated they would like access to an exercise program

The Ottawa chapter is looking for community centres across the city that would be interested in hosting Minds in Motion. Paul said groups are invited to send in a request. “This is very much in the birthing stage and we’re very optimistic about launching the program next year,” she said. FUNDRAISER

Residents at the Royale retirement residence spent the last few months collecting loose change and coins to

donate to the Alzheimer’s Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County. Bill Carr presented Paul with a cheque for $350 during her presentation. “The residents here are rather unique,” said Carr, president of the Royale’s residents’ council. “They do contribute to the community.” Paul said the funds will likely go towards getting Minds in Motion off the ground. The Alzheimer’s Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County has a budget of $1.8 million a year. Of that, $1.1 mil-

lion must be fundraised. Seventy-eight cents of every dollar raised go towards the organization’s programs and services, said Paul. For more information, visit the website at alzheimer.ca/ottawa.

Arts - A six-piece Ottawa band is following the Yellow Brick Road to fame. The Captain Fantastic band is heading to Centrepointe Theatre’s studio stage on Oct. 19. Frontman Donnie Leafloor has been mimicking the Rocket Man for nearly two decades. He started his career at with a steady gig at the Marshy’s bar at the Canadian Tire Centre. “The Marshy’s closed and it presented me with an opportunity,” Leafloor said. “I have always been a huge Elton John fan and the highest honour is a tribute band.” Armed with a dream, Leafloor said he met with Pat Robillard – who now serves as backup vocalist and guitarist for the band – with the idea. “He loved it, and it just kind of ballooned from there,” Leafloor said. The rest of the musicians, Michel André Farmer on percussion, Campbell Douglas on keyboard, Denis St-Amour on bass and mandolin and Jack Pelletier, who plays assorted electric guitars, were all handpicked by Leafloor. “There’s an amazing amount of

talent,” he said. The sextet prefers to play at softseated theatres. Leafloor said the typical crowd can include up to 500 fans. “I think our favourite venue would be the NAC,” Leafloor said, adding the October show at Centrepointe will be the group’s first time performing in the new studio theatre. The band typically takes a break from performing during the summer, but Leafloor says they get back into the swing of things with festivals and fairs in the fall. Before they play Centrepointe, the Captain Fantastic Band is set to play a festival in Stirling, Ont. And while the set lists are pretty tight, Leafloor said he likes to have fun on stage. “I play the bigger hits for the audience but I also play some of the more obscure ones for me,” he said. “In our show, you never know what’s going to happen. We try and keep it light. Even though I might be playing the same song for the 200th time I don’t feel it.” A typical set list takes the audience through the early Tin Pan Alley days to Elton John’s most recent hits. Tickets for the show are available for $27.50 at centrepointetheatre. com.

Peewee Knights have sights set on winning season Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com

Sports The peewee Kanata Knights will see only a handful of veteran players moving up from last year’s mosquito team. But head coach Neall Hards is confident his squad has the tools to challenge for a National Capital Football Association championship. “It’s so well balanced this year,� said Hards. “We have size and strength on both sides of the ball.� Stewart Melville, one of the five returning veterans and captain of this year’s team, is slotted as starting quarterback. Melville, who played defence on the mosquito team, worked hard to secure his position as a starter, said Hards. “He’s one of the kind of hidden talent kids,� said Hards. “He came in wanting to be a quarterback.� The Knights likely boast the best back-up quarterback in the league in Tyler Rehman, who was rated the best quarterback in the province in his age group. The 14-year-old also plays in the Ottawa Valley Football League. The team will boast strong receivers and a solid running back duo of Pat Massia and Evan Wilson. “(Massia) and Evan Wilson make up a great one-two punch for our running back corps,� said Hards. Some of this year’s additions are athletes from different sports, including Sebastian Chavez, slotted to play linebacker. “We got a tennis player,� said Hards. “He hits like a truck. He’s got this natural field vision. My offensive co-ordinators were fighting for him as a running back.� The Knights defence can boast both size and skill, said Hards, adding the players have

Sports - You can reach your health goals if you have your eyes wide open, and arm yourself with some key pieces of knowledge. Here are some proven tips to help you get there: • Seek small victories: Break your goal down into small goals you know you can do. If you’re busy, and are booking workouts twice a day, everyday, there’s a greater chance you’ll fail. Instead, check your schedule, start small and grow from there. • Gather support: tell the club receptionist that you’re proud of yourself for getting to the gym for the second time this week. Share your workout goal and schedule with coworkers so they don’t book conflicting appointments. Hire a personal trainer

to increase your chances of success by 80 percent. Tell your friends and group exercise instructor about your resolution, and update them on your progress and challenges. • Drink more water, eat a little less: If you try to cut out entire food groups or survive on celery and water alone, you will fail. So try eating a little less. When out, eat slowly, savour the flavours, and take half home for lunch the next day. Your metabolism slows down after seven in the evening, so aim to finish supper before that to burn more calories than you would store as fat. Studies show that drinking 500 millilitres of water 30 minutes before a meal reduces your hunger so you eat less at the meal. www.newscanada.com

Midget season opener called on account of rain Raiders defeat bantam Knights 40-0 Kanata Knights

Sports - The midget Kanata Knights’ season opener was called due to rain. The team took on the Ottawa Stampeders at Kaladar football field in south Ottawa on Aug. 30, but the game was cancelled at halftime. The match will be rescheduled at a later date. The Knights’ running game was in full force with Chris Bumstead rushing for 55 yards and Jason Lachance for 33 yards. The defence saw some rookie players making their mark with Dean Parker posting two solo tackles along with veteran Knights Sebby Mordak, Emil Aite and Nick Porter also posting two solo tackles a piece. Nick Krzaniak recorded two solos, one assist plus an interception, Eric Ricci recorded a solo tackle and three assists and Jasmin Dervisevic had three assisted tackles. Robby Sullivan also recovered a fumble. With a kick through the end zone, Kanata was up 1-0 at halftime, when the game was cancelled. The Knights will play their home opener at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 6 at

Robert Barr Football Field, next to the Kanata Recreation Complex, where they will take on the Nouvelle Frontieres. BANTAM

The bantam Kanata Knights lost 40-0 against the Gloucester South Raiders on Sept. 1 at Barry Hawley Memorial Field in Leitrim. The Knights played valiantly, pushing back at every opportunity. Offensive players Ashton Vanasse, Nick Beer, Josh Warren, Thomas Patridge and Michael Kraeker gave it their all throughout the game. An outstanding catch by Luke Morrison had the crowd on their feet. Defensively the Knights had some amazing plays but could not keep the charging Raiders at bay. A strip by Abed Hamidi, a knockdown and hard-hitting tackles by Austin Cranney, and an outstanding run off a fumble recovery from Dylan Walker kept the Knights pumped and moving.

Sports - The Kanata Stallions opened the season with a win, defeating the Hawkesbury Hawks 4-2 at the Bell Sensplex on Aug. 31. The Stallions’offence ignited in the second period, with Kanata scoring three goals - two within the first minute. The Stallions lost their next two games at the Sensplex, with a 2-1 defeat against the Cornwall Colts on Sunday, Sept. 1, and a 5-3 loss to the Kemptville 73’s on Sept. 2. Kanata played its first three games of the season at the Kanata arena during the Central Canada Hockey League’s (CCHL) annual Fall Showcase, held on Aug. 30 to Sept. 2.

Scouts and recruiters from teams in the National Collegiate Athletic Association and Canadian universities lined the stands to evaluate players during the 18 games. “It’s very important as everyone can come together in a single venue and get to evaluate our players,” said CCHL commissioner Kevin Abrams in a press release. “Many will get on the radar of NHL, NCAA, (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) and major junior programs.” The Central Canada Hockey League will host a Hockey Day in Canada in Carleton Place on Feb. 8, 2014, with all teams playing one game. STALLIONS TAME HAWKS

In the game against Hawkesbury, the Stallions went into the second

period trailing by a goal, scored on the power play by Carl Faucher. But Kanata stormed out of the gate during the opening minute of the second period with Derian Plouffe scoring at the 18 second mark, assisted by Nic LaBurn. Half-a-minute later, Devin Fullum put the Stallions ahead by a goal, with assists from Jason Brochu and Alex Stothart. Trent Yule padded the Stallions lead, scoring on the power play, assisted by Plouffe and Braedan Moffatt. Plouffe added a second marker, scoring with a man advantage in the third period, with assists from Doug Harvey and Kris Myllari. A few minutes later, Hawkesbury also scored on the power play, with a goal from David Higgs, assisted by Trent Durocher and Faucher.

Ottawa police sergeant receives safety award News - An Ottawa police sergeant was honoured for his efforts to reduce drinking and driving last week. Sgt. John Kiss received the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario’s 2012 Road Safety Professional Award at Ottawa city hall for his

work to educate the public about impaired driving. “Sgt. Kiss has touched people’s lives through his continued public education efforts to reduce drinking and driving in Ottawa,� said Ottawa police Deputy Chief Jill Skinner. “We are proud that his contribu-

tion to the safety of our roads has been recognized with the 2012 Road Safety Professional Award.� Kiss has been the alcohol counter measures co-ordinator at Ottawa police since 2010. He has worked with Mothers Against Drunk Driving on Opera-

tion Red Nose and joined the board of the Ottawa chapter of MADD in 2012. In December 2012, he worked with BOOM 99.7 to show the dangers of moderate drinking, typical of festive office parties. Kiss also collaborated with MADD and the Ottawa Insurance

Brokers Association to co-ordinate RIDE and Mega-RIDE programs involving several national capital police agencies. In December 2012, OPP, RCMP, the Ottawa Police Service and Military Police jointly deployed every Thursday evening and OIBA distributed gifts to sober motorists.

Driver’s licence, permit fees go up Licence renewels increase $5, driving tests up $10 Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Fees for drivers licences associated services increased on Sept. 1 and will increase again in 2014 and 2015. Raised fees include new driver’s

licences and renewals, licence replacement, driver examinations and vehicle permits. While replacing a driver’s license currently costs $15, it will go up to $28 by 2015. Licence renewals increased by $5 on Sept. 1, but will not change in 2014 and 2015. Most driving tests for new drivers went up $10, but 2014 and 2015 final prices haven’t been determined yet. According to a provincial government press release, the cost in-

creases are tied to the increasing cost of maintaining provincial roads, highways and bridges, and to “support the quality services Ontarians rely on, such as education and health care.” Ontario has 9.3 million licensed drivers. The estimated revenue increase by raising the prices adds almost $200 million to the $1.1 billion collected annually through the licensing and renewals services.

Leitrim and Albion roads. There were no reported injuries. The cause of the fire is still under investigation by the Ottawa fire department. Police do not believe arson is a factor. Anyone wishing to assist is asked to please deposit money in the Scotiabank account #98756 00296 29 in trust. “Anyone can deposit money into this account to help the family,” the association states on their website. “It will be open until the end of October. “People who know the family, as well as people who don’t, have come forward wanting to help. The outpouring of support has been overwhelming.”

First day of school was a special occasion MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories of year my three brothers had new running shoes to wear the ďŹ rst day back to school. They covered their ankles, and laced from the toes to the tops and had thick black soles. If Mother didn’t order them from the Eaton’s catalogue, they were bought in Renfrew where she bargained for the best price – the stores in Renfrew weren’t too happy about trading a couple chickens or fresh eggs like Mr. Briscoe did in Northcote. The boys were warned to be careful with the running shoes, because they would be the only ones they would be getting, even if they fell apart. “No scufďŹ ng along the side road,â€? she would bellow, as we all headed out the lane that ďŹ rst day back to school. If some misfortune happened to the running shoes, the brothers would have to resort

to wearing their gum-rubbers, which made their feet sweat. If enough boys were in their gum-rubbers all at the same time at school, the whole place smelled to high heaven, causing Miss Crosby to ing the windows wide even on the coldest fall days. And so it was that ďŹ rst day back to the Northcote School, we headed off. Velma waited for me while the Thoms boys and my three brothers raced off down the dirt road. Boys never carried their lunch bags openly. They tucked them inside the front of their shirts, which did nothing to keep the sandwiches in one piece. We girls put our lunches in our book bags, in with our new scribblers and whatever books Mother had to buy at the drug store. And always we girls carried a

freshly laundered handkerchief, neatly folded, tucked in our book bag as well. If Kleenex had been invented back then, we certainly didn’t know about it. Mother always tried to have my sister Audrey and I wear something new for that ďŹ rst day back to school. Not store-bought, of course, but something she would have made from a leftover from the hand-me-down box or from a well-bleached pair of our bags. Mother favoured making blouses, simple ones with little round Peter Pan collars, and she would search through her sewing basket until she found pieces of rick-rack braid which she would sew around the cuffs of the puffed sleeves and the round collar. Very clever was my Mother, I thought back then. Even though we had seen the neighbourhood children many times over the summer, at church picnics, ball games and family get-togethers, on that ďŹ rst day back to school it was as if we hadn’t laid eyes on them for years. There would be the Briscoe twins in identical dresses. My little friend Joyce, always

e thought nothing of the ďŹ ve-and-a-half kilometre trek to the Northcote School. There were others who walked much further. And if we had to make a stop at Briscoe’s General Store that meant at least another kilometre and a half, as we had to walk the Rink Road to get there, bypassing Plaunt Road which was our usual way of getting to and from school. When we got to the end of our long lane we would meet up with the Thoms, our nextfarm-over neighbours. Velma and I, best friends, would hold hands all the way to the school. It was a dirt road all the way and by the time we got to school our socks were covered with dust and our shoes looked like they had been through a war. I was in boys brown brogue laced shoes that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina and I secretly prayed that those shoes would fall apart one day and I could wear my church shoes, which were just marginally better.

WE NOW HAVE

with something brand new that had probably come out of Walker’s Store in Renfrew, and of course, my rival Marguirite would have had a new permanent wave in her drug-store bleached Shirley Temple curls and she would be in shiny black patent leather Mary Jane shoes, with little white socks that had lace around the tops. And there would be Miss Crosby in the same dress she had worn on the last day of school two months before. She would still smell of lilac talcum powder and her black laced shoes would be so shiny you could see your face in them. That ďŹ rst day of school we were allowed to go home mid-afternoon. Instead of calling a recess, Miss Crosby would announce that school was over for that day. We’d head back out to the road that went by the school and that day we would take the long way home. Down the Rink Road and over to Briscoe’s General Store, because that day, and that day only, we would all have been given a nickel. Audrey’s and mine were tied

in the corner of our hankies and the brothers’ rattling around in their overall pockets with the usual collection of sling-shots, pieces of string, a couple of nails, and their dime-store jack knives. It would be like a small invasion, as en mass we crowded into the store and headed right for the candy counter. The boys of the Northcote School would forgo the little brown paper bag and instead cram their nickel’s worth of candy deep into their overall pockets. Often Velma and I would buy one box of nickel Cracker Jacks and a nickel’s worth of peppermints and share them on the way home. Once again, every day, the Northcote Road would lead us to and from the school. There would be no rides because of bad weather. It was a trek we were well used to. In good weather and bad, like a washboard ribbon parched dry when there was no rain, covered in ruts when there was, and icy and snowcovered when winter came, the Northcote Road was as familiar to us as the backs of our hands.

Getting Safely Back into Routine:

School Lunches Getting back into the school routine can be challenging, especially when the relaxed meal schedules are gone and the task of making lunches returns once again. Health Canada estimates that 11 to 13 million Canadians suffer from foodborne illness each year, and unfortunately children are in a higher risk category to experience more serious symptoms. Foodborne illness occurs when harmful bacteria, viruses or parasites make their way into the body through food or beverages and cause illness or disease. To avoid unwanted “ingredients” making their way into your child’s lunch bag, here are some key reminders to parents when packing lunches.

Keep Hot Foods Hot

• Keep cold foods cold at 4°C or below -Use a refrigerator if possible or use a frozen ice pack, frozen water bottle or juice box and place beside the perishable foods - Use an insulated lunch bag and store it away from sun light or other heat sources. Refrigerate or freeze lunch bags the night before use.

• Foods like soups, chilli, stews and any leftovers must stay hot at 60°C or higher to stay safe. If they are going to be eaten hot at lunchtime, use an • Wash fruits and vegetables before cutting up or eating, even those with insulated thermos or container rinds and skins as the surfaces may • Preheat the insulated thermos or be contaminated with germs or dirt container by adding boiling water for a few minutes. While you are doing this, heat the food in the microwave or stove top to 74°C/165°F. Then empty the thermos of the boiling water and fill it with the hot food

• If left at room temperature, perishable foods like cut fruit, vegetables, meat, chicken, seafood, eggs, mayonnaise, pastas, rice, dairy products and Keep it Clean leftovers can grow dangerous germs • Wash your hands with soap and • If perishables are left at room warm water for at least 20 seconds temperature for more than 2 hours, before preparing your child’s lunch throw them out • Regularly wash your child’s insulated lunch l bag or lunch box with warm soapy water •

Upside down and backwards: exploring dyslexia In the first of a three-part series, reporter Jennifer McIntosh discusses how she discovered her son has dyslexia and its impact on her child’s education Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - “My stomach hurts.” That’s a common complaint from my son. It starts every September and it ends in June. It’s either the longest flu ever, or he doesn’t like school. James Gannon, now 8, is a friendly outgoing kid. He loves science, plays hockey and wants to be a lawyer when he grows up. Only problem is, he can’t read. He hides it well; he watches my face when he’s sounding out words, so he can see if he’s getting a sound right. He memorizes letter formations to guess at what a word might be. He also stays quiet in class and listens to the teacher. He looks like he’s reading, but he’s not. James has dyslexia. It wasn’t a conclusion that I came to lightly. The problem first began in junior kindergarten. I was flabbergasted when the teacher asked me if my gregarious, intelligent child might have speech problems. He was tested by first words, a screening program done by Ontario Early Years centres, and there didn’t seem to be any problems. With that hurdle cleared I thought things would surely improve. Less than a month later the same teacher came to me with concerns about his writing. “He doesn’t seem to be able to grip the pencil properly,” she said. So I purchased the pencil grip and complained to anyone who would listen about how the school system is designed for girls and my son was being unfairly persecuted.

We changed schools for senior kindergarten and then again for Grade 1. He still didn’t seem to like school, but I dismissed it as residual anger from the two moves. In Grade 1, the teacher at our school in Bells Corners said he was having trouble seeing the side board; further investigation found that he had a lazy eye and his eyesight was 20/80. James was excited to put on his first pair of glasses. He picked out blue ones – his favourite colour – and talked about how he was now going to be able to read as well as his best friend. But that didn’t happen. I might never have noticed anything was wrong, except that the same year I attended a workshop called Walk a Mile in My Shoes. The workshop is led by Linda Barbetta, the executive director of the Learning Disabilities Association of Ottawa Carleton. She holds the workshops for educators to help them understand what it’s like to be in an average classroom if you have dyslexia. During each workshop she hands the participants a passage with the letters distributed on different lines, with some reversals. “People spend so much time decoding the message, there’s very little comprehension going on,” she said. “If that had been a math problem, you’d be hard pressed to come up with the solution.” It was like a light bulb went off. I went home and asked my son to tell me what it looked like to him when he was reading. “Well, the words sometimes

34 Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, September 5, 2013

move around on the page and it makes it hard to concentrate,” he said. My heart sank. I probably stayed up all night researching dyslexia. The answers I found weren’t encouraging. According to the Ministry of Education in the 2010-11 school year (the most recent figures available) more than 191,600 students provincewide were marked by an identification placement and review committee as exceptional pupils. A further 127,600 students who were not formally identified were provided with special education programs and services. The ministry recognizes 14 exceptionalities – which can include anything from being gifted to autism. It doesn’t officially recognize dyslexia. Barbetta said it’s most commonly classed as a language-based learning disability. To obtain an individualized education plan – commonly referred to as an IEP – most students must be assessed by a psychologist to determine where their strengths and weakness are. In theory, it’s a good idea, except the waiting list for psychological assessments can be upwards of two years, according to Barbetta. “They won’t tell you how long the list is because it’s fluid,” she said. “Too many parents go outside the system and pay out of pocket to have it done.” That comes with a $2,000 price tag. Knowing I couldn’t afford that, I decided to seek help at the school. With homework in hand I talked to the teacher about James’ letter reversals. “We don’t really worry about that until Grade 3,” she said, despite the fact that she had recently recommended James be put in a remedial reading group. Frustrated with the system,

because he was now halfway through Grade 2 and still having trouble, I began to look online for support. Enter Dale Carney, a Kanata resident whose son struggled with reading, writing and spelling. She took him out of the school system in Grade 3 and began homeschooling. It wasn’t until she met Susan Barton, an inductee into the International Dyslexia Association’s Hall of Honour, that she began to research dyslexia and related tutoring methods. It was from her Carney learned about the Orton-Gillingham method. The method of teaching is multi-sensory, kinesthetic, and phonics based. “It’s really about creating new neural pathways to decode language,” Carney said in our pre-testing interview. After the success with her own son, Carney, a former nurse, became certified as a dyslexia testing specialist. I brought her James’ schoolwork from kindergarten to the present day. She interviewed me; we went over his difficulties in school. James came back and sat with her for three hours; they went over phonetic awareness, working memory and his writing. He sat through the whole process patiently. “That was kind of fun mom,” he said. I received Carney’s report a few weeks later, it confirmed my suspicions. Armed with the report, I went to the school. Carney said the earlier the problem is caught, the better for the learner, it’s a theory shared by Barbetta and many other people who see children with dyslexia on a regular basis. But both the Ottawa public and Catholic school boards insist there’s no need to worry until the third grade. At first the teacher wanted to talk about the 10-page report in 15 minutes. Weeks later, I managed to get a meeting with three teachers at

James Gannon is pictured on the first day of Grade 2, armed with a lunchable and a grey fedora. the school – including the head of the resource department. I found out that James was meeting intermittently with a volunteer in the library for reading help. All of his teachers assured me he was very gifted and doing well. I was given a passage he wrote about damage from the perspective of a tornado. He used the words random destruction in the story. “Well then how come he can’t spell ‘away’ at home,” I thought. WHAT’S NEXT

Barbetta said the story is similar to the ones she’s heard from many parents. According to the Dyslexia Research Trust in Oxford, one of the strongest risk factors for dyslexia is having a close relative with reading problems, for example, having a family history of dyslexia. In Barbetta’s family all three of her children have some degree of dyslexia. So does her husband. Her son often attends the workshops she teaches. “He tells me ‘Mom, my eyes and brain tell me different things and I don’t know which one to trust,’” she said. Barbetta has paid out of pocket for psychological assessments for all her three children. It’s gotten so bad she refuses

to buy school supplies. “We have had to purchase computer software and cover the cost of assessments not covered by our insurance. I don’t send them to school with the stuff on the list anymore, I figure the school can supply it,” Barbetta said. The learning disabilities association provides support for parents of children with learning disabilities, helping them to navigate the public school boards to obtain help for their children. Barbetta said at times the work is frustrating and funding can be hard to find, but it’s worth it. “We also offer a list of local tutors and parent support group nights, because let’s face it, it’s hard,” she said. She said most parents just want their children to be happy and successful. “Can you imagine the pressure of attending school every day if you can’t do what’s expected of you?” she asked, adding many kids have anxiety. After my research was finished the picture was pretty grim. But there is a silver lining. Voice-to-text software and proven teaching methods exist to help children overcome the hurdles they have to face because of dyslexia. In Ottawa, there are two private schools available that deal with learning disabilities as part of the curriculum. I also learned it’s a learning disability often associated with creativity. According to the Canadian Dyslexia Association, George Bernard Shaw, Winston Churchill and Leonardo Da Vinci are some of the people believed to have had dyslexia. “You have to be smart to have a learning disability,” Barbetta said. Next week examines the resources and barriers to helping children with dyslexia in Ottawa public and Catholic schools.

St. Peter High School graduate killed in Yellowknife Manslaughter charges laid against 23-year-old Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - A 23-year-old man has been charged with manslaughter in the death of a St. Peter High School graduate in Yellowknife last week. Emerson Curran, a 20 year-old from OrlĂŠans, was injured in an altercation at a house party in the Range Lake area during his last days before

returning home to resume classes. The RCMP said that he was taken to the Stanton Territorial Hospital and then transferred to Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton, where he died on Aug. 25. The University of Ottawa student had been working with Air Tindi in Yellowknife for the summer, and was due to return home soon. The suspect is due to make his first appearance in territorial court on Aug. 30. He was

arrested on Aug. 29. According to an RCMP statement, more than 100 witnesses were interviewed before charges were pressed against the Yellowknife man. Curran is the son of Ottawa publisher Michael Curran. “This is a loss of unimaginable proportions,� Michael Curran said in a written statement. “Emerson was such as thoughtful, intelligent and loving son, brother and friend.� Michael Curran said his son had talked about organ donation with his mother many months ago. “In our immense struggle to make sense of

this tragedy, we ask that other sons, daughters and families have a talk about organ donation,â€? Michael Curran said in the statement. “We believe that Emerson’s end will help sustain the future of many others. His gift is giving us a glimmer of goodness and hope.â€? Curran had previously worked at Farm Boy in OrlĂŠans, and was dating fellow St. Peter graduate Jillian Gummo. On Aug. 28, Gummo posted on Facebook that over the long weekend, they would hold a celebration at Johnny Canucks, to celebrate “Emâ€? and promote organ donation.

New website to promote safe drinking Ottawa-area university, colleges participate in new program Staff

News - A new website to promote safer drinking habits for postsecondary students has been launched just in time for the return of classes this fall. The Safer Ottawa Drinking Alliance addresses unsafe drinking among students and promotes safe habits when it comes to consuming alcohol with a new website, SODAottawa.ca. Partnering with three postsecond-

ary institutions, Algonquin College, La CitĂŠ collĂŠgiale and the University of Ottawa Health Services, the alliance offers students the opportunity to “check your drinking,â€? read Canada’s low-risk alcohol drinking guidelines as well as links to more resources. Sandra McCormick from Algonquin College is the lead project coordinator for the organization said she is looking forward to working with the other institutions. “With help from our partners, we

will strive to create a culture of safer alcohol use for students in the Ottawa area,� McCormick said. Alongside the three postsecondary institutions the alliance has partnered with, there are eight community organizations that are also participating in the new program. Those partners are the Ottawa Public Health, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, ByWard Market event planners OttawaVenues. com, Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, Mothers Against Drunk

Driving Ottawa, the Ontario Provincial Police and Ottawa police and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission. “We are pleased to see that our postsecondary institutions are taking unsafe drinking practices and the impact on their students seriously by addressing this important issue,� said Dr. Isra Levy, Ottawa’s medical officer of health. According to Levy, in 2011 73 per cent of Ottawa adult males and 48 per cent of Ottawa adult females ages 19-24 years reported heavy drinking, which carries serious short- and long-term health risks.

He said that same year, there were more than 700 alcohol related paramedic responses involving youth and young adults aged 15 to 29 in Ottawa. “We want to ensure young adults are informed about the dangers and health risks of excessive drinking,� Levy added. The organization’s first awareness campaign will begin this fall, with the focus on encouraging students to measure their own alcohol intake. The awareness campaign intends to employ social media and contests to keep students engaged in the discussion of drinking safely.

News - A Manotick Station home has been destroyed after a fire consumed the building around midnight on Wednesday, Aug. 28. Ottawa Fire Services began receiving calls about visible flames coming from the home at 6023 Elkwood Dr. off Manotick Station Road at 11:54 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 27. “Upon arrival flames were visible coming through the roof and a working fire was declared,� a statement from the fire department said. Crews had the fire under control just after 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday. The 279-square-metre (3,000-square-foot) home was completely destroyed, with just one side still standing after a bulldozer pulled the two-storey building to the ground to avoid spreading the flames. The total dollar loss is estimated at about $500,000. Ottawa police spokesman Const. Chuck Benoit said the fire is being investigated as arson, although he noted that all fires are considered suspicious until proven otherwise. “I won’t be able to comment (on this case) until the arson unit gives us more information from their investigation,� he said. Police crews were still on site mid-morning.

Apple pecan cake with apple butter glaze easy to make Lifestyle - Apple butter and chopped apples make for a moist, easy-to-put-together cake. Despite its name, apple butter is fat free. The term ‘butter’ refers to the thick, soft consistency and its use as a spread for toast, bagels, waffles or pancakes. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Baking time: 30 to 35 minutes. Serves eight to 10 people. INGREDIENTS

Cake • 500 ml (2 cups) all-purpose flour • 10 ml (2 tsp) baking powder • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each baking soda, salt and ground nutmeg • 2 eggs, lightly beaten • 125 ml (1/2 cup) packed brown sugar • 125 ml (1/2 cup) apple butter • 50 ml (1/4 cup) each vegetable oil and plain low-fat yogurt • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced (about 500ml/2 cups) Glaze • 175 ml (3/4 cup) apple butter

(approximately) • 25 ml (2 tbsp) chopped toasted pecans (optional) PREPARATION

Line a two-litre (nine-inch) round cake pan with a circle of parchment paper. Brush the side of the pan with vegetable oil. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, brown sugar, apple butter, oil and yogurt and then stir in apples. Stir these ingredi-

ents into the dry mixture until moistened. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a thin spatula around the edge of the cake then invert it onto the wire rack to cool completely. Invert the cake onto a serving plate. Glaze: Spread apple butter evenly over cake, then sprinkle with pecans, if you are using them. Foodland Ontario

Casino vote puts city at legal risk: Wilkinson Council votes to keep gambling at raceway with current slots, 21 gaming tables Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Mayor Jim Watson downplayed the possibility the province could say “no dice” after city council voted to require gambling to stay at the Rideau Carleton Raceway. The 16-7 vote on Aug. 28 means the city council wants the rural raceway to be the only location for gambling facilities in Ottawa. The size of the facility would be limited to the 1,250 slots machines that are already at the raceway and the 21 gaming tables council previously approved as a two-year pilot project. The mayor said he couldn’t predict how the province and Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation would react to the city’s statement that it will only accept gambling at the raceway. Watson pointed out that Kingston excluded its historic downtown core from having a casino located there and Hamilton said it would only accept a casino at its racetrack at Flamboro Downs. “I would be very surprised if all of

a sudden the province or OLG came back and said, ‘I’m sorry, we’re not going to follow through on what you asked for,’” Watson said. “We just received the letter on Monday that in essence, confirmed the province’s position that we have one zone, but also that we have the right to make a decision as to where in that zone the gaming facility can be.” Although the OLG had previously expressed that the intent of its gambling modernization plan was to bring gaming to where people live – urban centres – Watson said that was under a different leadership. “A lot has changed,” he said. “There is new premier who is not as enthusiastic, to put it bluntly, about gaming. Certainly in discussions I’ve had, she has reaffirmed with me our right and our responsibility to choose a location that we feel meets the community’s needs.” The seven councillors who voted against accepting a casino and limiting its location to the raceway were: David Chernushenko (Capital), Diane Deans (Gloucester-Southgate), Mathieu Fleury (Rideau-Vanier), Jan Harder (Barrhaven), Diane Hol-

mes (Somerset), Shad Qadri (Stittsville) and Marianne Wilkinson (Kanata North). Council voted against approving that 6.5 per cent of Ottawa’s take of the casino revenue go to the public health department to boost gambling prevention and outreach efforts. LEGAL ACTION

Wilkinson tried to have the casino vote delayed to another meeting so council could receive a report on the Ontario Horse Racing Industry Panel’s recommended funding for the raceway and the annual rental revenue the city could receive from that. She said council has moved rather quickly from preferring a full, open process to being specific about the site. The risk of benefitting one business over another opens the city up to a more serious lawsuit than councillors realize, she said. “That’s not the way we normally operate and that’s not the way it should be,” Wilkinson said, adding the move could put the city in a “precarious position” because the legal department has indicated their could be a possible problem. “I don’t think councillors are thinking this through,” Wilkinson said. Dejected Ottawa Senators owner

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Mayor Jim Watson speaks to the media on Aug. 26 after the city’s finance committee voted to protect existing approved gambling facilities at the Rideau Carleton Raceway only. Eugene Melnyk said after the finance committee’s Aug. 26 vote that he could not understand why the city was willing to vote to benefit the raceway property owners at the expense of any other business or property in the city, including his proposal for a casino an entertainment district at Canadian Tire Centre.

Melnyk said his lawyer, Paul Webber, has said what the city is doing is “inappropriate and possibly illegal” and alluded to possible legal action against the city. Casino proponents on council say the bidding process is open and have suggested Melynk could bid to operate gambling facilities on any site, including at the raceway. “We need to be cautious and maybe overt that we are not closed for business,” said Bay Coun. Mark Taylor. “It doesn’t mean we’re not interested in helping them be economically viable and successful.” Qadri, who has supported Melnyk’s bid for a casino in his ward, said adding only 21 gaming tables would make the raceway “a casino in name only.” “Adding 21 gaming tables will not ensure success on its own or allow it to compete with Lac Leamy,” he said, adding that the vote would divide the business community and isolate other business interests. The mayor said the decision was within the committee’s purview to make. “I knew Mr. Melnyk would be disappointed, but we do have the authority given to us by the OLG to be site specific, or whatever the equivalent opposite of site specific is,” Watson said after the finance committee vote.

The increased number of foot patrol ofďŹ cers in the market has been working closely with bylaw enforcement and OC Transpo constables. Michael Balfour, a representative from the Fairmont Château Laurier, said that since this project was implemented, he has seen a reduction in negative experiences reported by guests, colleagues and partners within the community. “The work by the Ottawa police has resulted in a safer community for everyone and contributed to maintaining the district as the nation capital’s number one tourist destination,â€? Balfour added.

COLPITTS, D. Ian In loving memory of our dearly loved husband and father who left us September 1, 2012 Our lives go on without him And nothing is the same. We have to hide our heartache When someone speaks his name. Sad are the hearts that love him, Silent the tears that fall. Living our lives without him Is the hardest part of all. He did so much for all of us, His heart was kind and true And when we needed someone His love and care shone through. Those special years will not return When we were all together, But with the love still in our hearts He will walk with us forever.

Funding boosts police youth program Recent grads talk about their experience Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - While one class has ended, it’s just the beginning for the city’s Youth in Policing Initiative program. What started as a summer program with seven students in 2007 has now ballooned to three, twomonth sessions each year that allows high school students to get a behind-the-scenes look at how policing works. The last class, which graduated Aug. 23 during a ceremony at Ben Franklin Place, got an inside peek at the force’s fraud, canine and identification units. “Some of them got to go to retailers and show them how to identify a counterfeit bill,” said Tom Patrick co-ordinator of the program for the Ottawa police. Patrick said the Ottawa program is based on one in Toronto. “In Toronto you have to be from a certain postal code,” he said. “Here we try to take a mix of high achievers, those from low-income neighbourhoods … all walks of life.” High school students aged 15 to 18 can apply to be part of the

program. Patrick said a recommendation from a teacher or a police officer goes a long way towards a successful application. Mayor Jim Watson, who attended the recent graduation ceremony, congratulated the students who participated in the program, saying they beat out 300 of their peers to get a coveted YIPI spot. “Your parents should be proud of the contribution you make to the community,” Watson said. Patrick said the course began in early July with a campout and trip to Camp Smitty – an outdoor summer camp near Eganville, Ont. “We found team building to be a very important piece,” Patrick said. “Once the work starts they tend to be spread out across the various departments of the Ottawa police, so it’s better if they get to know each other and make those friendships right at the beginning. It’s also a chance for them to get to know police officers in a formal setting.” Aside from the behind-thescenes look at what police officers do, the students got their CPR and health and safety certifications, as well as SafeTalk suicide preven-

Maniza Khan, who served as one of the class valedictorian’s said she enjoyed her time. “Now I truly value the Ottawa Police Service,” she said. “The majority of Canadians view police officers as a friend in need. Now we really know the responsibilities that fall on your shoulders.” Khan said during training she expected to be told where she fell short, but instead her strengths were celebrated.

“We were all welcomed with open arms,” she said. Jeremy Mukuna said when he was first accepted into the program, he was happy about the honorarium all students received. “But it ended up the experience I got out of it was way more valuable than money,” he said. The next intake of the program starts in October. Interested applicants must apply before Sept. 6. For more information, email yipi@ottawapolice.ca.

The City of Ottawa initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study in January 2013 for the Kanata South community for the corridor encompassing Hope Side Road, Old Richmond Road and West Hunt Club Road to Highway 416. This Study is being carried out in accordance with the requirements for a Schedule ‘C’ project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, as revised in 2007 and 2011.

The purpose of this second and final Open House is to: s Present the alternative road widening designs (3 lanes with reversible lane and 4 lanes with median) and intersection alternatives (signals and roundabouts) s Present the evaluation of the alternative designs s Present the technically preferred design.

Last week Council, on a 15 – 7 vote, decided to declare that the only location for a casino operation would be the Rideau Carleton Raceway (RCR). I was one of those who voted against this motion because it provided an unfair advantage to one business over other businesses who were already engaged with Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG) to determine the best location. The existing slots at Rideau Carleton are run directly by OLG. Their arrangement to support race tracks and the horse industry ended last March. The Province has set up a panel to meet with the race tracks and recommend a funding formula for all race tracks to replace the funding formerly received from the slot operations. In addition a lease for the building at RCR has just been negotiated that will provide additional funding. The RCR representative, in response to my questions last week, clearly stated that RCR would continue to operate and could do so with the funding to be received from the province and the lease. The only change would be that the purse they provide winning races (currently some are $1 million) would need to be reduced. I was pleased to hear that operations will continue as an important activity in Ottawa. However, since RCR said they would not close if they did not get the casino, the argument by many Councillors that they were only supporting a casino at RCR to keep it from closing makes no sense. In doing so, Council failed to provide the open, competitive bidding process required by our procurement bylaw. The Mayor has indicated that, since OLG has done a procurement to determine suitable operators, and since three such operators have been selected to bid on an Ottawa casino, there is an open process. I agree that OLG has an open process but Ottawa does not. The three operators selected by OLG are now restricted to bidding only on one location - a location selected by Ottawa Council without an open, competitive process. I don’t know what the long term implication of this decision will be, but I am concerned that action may be taken by those who have now been removed from the process in which they’ve been participating with OLG for more than a year – one of which is the Senators and others who have remained silent. I’m concerned about the message this sends to businesses who deal with the City. I’m also concerned that senior city staff were not a part of the process in making this selection but remained silent – I can only speculate that this was because this was solely a political decision and any contribution or analysis they could make might not have supported that decision. The one exception was Dr Levy, our Medical Officer of Health, who has produced an excellent report on problems from gambling. Council has sent those recommendations to OLG and agreed to provide more funding to deal with addictions. I wonder what an economic impact study to determine the best location for the City would have recommended.

Alta Vista library changing with the times New self-checkout stations to speed up borrowing books Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News – Borrowing books has become a little easier thanks to rapid technology. Come the end of October, area residents will be able to enjoy an enhanced experience at the Alta Vista branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Renovations to the library, located at 2516 Alta Vista Dr., started on Aug. 30. The library will remain open throughout the remainder of the construction. When the renovations are complete, the $750,000 project will see a total of five selfcheckout stations installed in the library, as well as a sorting machine for books being re-

turned, said branch manager Tony Westenbroek. The fancy terminology for the library’s facelift is radio frequency identification technology, he added. “It’s just a faster way of processing the books,” he said. The improvements mean a shift in manual labour at the library, Westenbroek said. “We are going to change how we deliver a single point of service,” he said. “Staff will be moving from one part of the branch to another asking if anyone needs help finding a book.” In short, they’ll be more accessible to visitors. Statistics are showing an increasing number of visitors are getting used to technology being introduced in the library,

said Westenbroek. “The Alta Vista library is one of the most heavily used branches in the city,” he added. “It’s a much-loved and muchused community branch.” The Ottawa Public Library has nearly 11 million materials passing through all of the city’s branches, he said, with a high percentage in the Alta Vista branch. Visitors will also be able to pay any outstanding fines at the self-serve stations. They can also choose to check their books out with a librarian at the counter as in the past. “That option will always be available,” he said. And when patrons bring their books back, it automatically comes off their account,

said Westenbroek. The external book return will be open 24/7. Also included in the improvements will be new accessible washrooms and new community meeting rooms. OTHER FACELIFTS

The Hazeldean branch in Kanata South was the first to undergo this type of change. The Emerald Plaza branch is also currently undergoing renovations, said Westenbroek, as it will double in size. Right now, the library is 465 square metres At the end of the

expansion, it will be 929 square metres. This branch will reopen on Sept. 19. Other improvements include new furniture, more seating and outlets for mobile devices, a new meeting room, RFID technology and a combined service counter. The radio frequency identification technology is a new improvement to the Alta Vista branch, which was also the first library to institute a Google Chromebook pilot project, he added. “The City of Ottawa strives

to serve its residents equally,” said Mayor Jim Watson at the announcement earlier this year, “and improving the accessibility and functionality of our facilities is one of the many ways the city is doing this.” The total project cost is funded under the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund. The governments of Canada and Ontario, and the City of Ottawa each contributed $250,000 toward this project.

Star Wars museum exhibit gets extension michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - If there are any fans out there who have yet to check out a unique exhibition from a galaxy far, far away, there is still time before Star Wars Identities lifts off for good. The exhibition was scheduled to close on Sept. 2, but the Canada Aviation and Space Museum has extended it until Oct. 14, due to popular demand. “It is the first time that CASM has hosted such a blockbuster exhibition, and it has proven to be a successful experience,” said Fernand Proulx, acting president of the museum. “Faced with strong demand from a public that is clearly won over by the Star Wars universe and its characters’ strong identities, we have decided to extend the exhibition’s stay in Ottawa until Oct. 14.” The museum showcase features characters from the famous film series, including Darth Vader, R2-D2, Chewbacca, Yoda as well as Anakin Skywalker’s full-sized podracer, offering both old and new fans of the films the chance to explore what forces shape the person or species you become. Created by Montreal’s X3 Productions in collaboration with Lucasfilm Ltd., the exhibition first appeared at the Montreal Science Centre in the spring of 2012. It has since travelled to western Canada, and opened in the capital this past May. X3 Productions collaborated with the Montréal Science Centre’s team of experts in a variety of fields to build the exhibition.

Jacques-André Dupont, president and executive producer of X3 Productions, said the teams’ knowledge and expertise have shaped the exhibition’s structure and their input has been essential in developing its scientific and educational content. “This exhibition offers a fresh perspective on the beloved characters of Star Wars,” Dupont said at the exhibition launch in April. “We get a deeper understanding of their identities, and, at the same time, we get a deeper understanding of our own ...It’s a character-driven adventure into identity.” Exploring the complex notion of identity in both the real world and in the films, X3 Productions sought to shed light on each of the components of identity. The exhibition divides the study of the characters from the movies identity into three major themes: the origins of the characters, the influences that shape them, and the choices they make during their life. It’s by looking at these characters’ identity that patrons will have the chance to learn about the components which make up their own human identities, such as species, genes, parents, and culture. There are many fun aspects to the new exhibit including a making-of featurettes which explore the stories behind the development of many iconic Star Wars characters and explain how they became who they are, and how different creative choices could have made them different characters altogether. There are also interactive identity quests, scientific content and the chance to follow Luke and Anakin Skywalker through their journey.

As you can see I am missing one eye and I am happy for it... When I was rescued it was so infected it had burst open... very painful and also making me very very sick. The surgery went very well and now I am as happy as a lark. It did not take anything away from my beautiful fur, my wonderful color, lovely face but instead it gave me a permanent “wink” and since I feel sooo good I can share my friendly demeanour with you and pamper you with my love. Once you meet me you’ll know what I mean ... I am a little furry love machine who can share her young life with you for many years to come..

News - The garbage disposal options for those out for a bite to eat or a stroll along Elgin Street have just become a little more organized after the city began a pilot project featuring new garbage containers. The bins allow waste to be sorted in three categories: garbage, recycling or paper. The pilot project will see 26 bins installed along the 14-block section of Elgin from Laurier Avenue to Catherine Street. Maria McRae, councillor for River Ward and chairwoman of the environment committee, Mayor Jim Watson and Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes tried out the new bins on Aug. 27 in front of city hall. “Recycling is a key component to the city’s waste diversion program,� McRae said. “These new bins will make it easy.� She referred to the current situation on Elgin as a “hodgepodge� and the new receptacles will be a huge improvement. The large metal containers are made of three interior sorting bins, inside of which will be

works, the green bin option was considered, but not added because of garbage audits from the street leading up to this pilot project, showed there was not enough organic material to warrant a separate container. Holmes agreed. The councillor said the street does have a lot of garbage issues, but organic material is not one of them. “I don’t see much food garbage left about,� Holmes said. “That food is left in the restaurants, even if you are picnicking, only small amounts end up in the garbage. I just don’t know it’s enough to make it worthwhile to have a separate container and a separate service.� Holmes said the new bins along the street are a great improvement for an area with a number of lunch and dinner destinations with little options to throw away the garbage

which accumulates. The councillor said the garbage pile up on the street is of concern to her and area residents, especially because Elgin Street, unlike Somerset Street West and Bank Street, does not have a business improvement group to help out. “Many other streets in my ward have BIAs who provide recycling and garbage bins,� she said. “So really this is useful for Elgin, which does not have its own BIA.� R0012273314_0829

clear plastic bags so the city’s public works department will be able to audit the trash -- all too ensure the project is working. The one-year pilot project will see the new bins placed along the street during the coming weeks. Six new benches will also be installed along the street. The total cost of the pilot, including the containers, benches, installation and the cost of collection is approximately $84,000. The total cost of each of the new recycling containers is $2,650. Watson said he was pleased with the new bins, adding that now residents will be able to recycle and sort garbage just like at home, adding he pilot will help the city determine the best way to implement this type of garbage bin throughout the city. But there is one difference from sorting at home and on Elgin - the new bins do not have a green bin option. According to public

Students back; driver, bus safety promoted John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

News - As students across the province head back to school, the Ontario government is reminding drivers to obey the rules of the road to keep children safe. It is up to drivers to watch for children, especially in school zones, and drive safely near school buses. Drivers should follow these tips: • Stop for a school bus when its overhead lights are flashing - never pass. Remain stopped until the lights stop flashing or the bus begins to move. • Leave space around school buses so children can safely board and exit the bus. Be prepared to stop for a school bus at any time, not just during school hours. • Slow down, drive with extra caution and watch for children in school zones. • Stop for pedestrians at crosswalks and school crossings. Parents can also do their part to keep children safe by reminding them to stay alert and watch for other vehicles when getting on or off the school bus. More than 818,000 students travel in about 18,000 school vehicles every day in Ontario. School buses are among the safest ways for children to travel. Research shows that riding the school bus is 16 times safer than travelling in a car, In 2008, the Ontario government made crossing arms on the front all school buses mandatory. Since 2010, new school buses require lights that illuminate the area around the entrance and exit doors of the bus Drivers can be fined up to $2,000 and six demerit points for failing to stop for a school bus “School bus safety is everybody’s business – from big cities to rural communities,” said Ontario School Bus Association president Perry Ferguson. “Caring for kids and ensuring their well-being in and around school buses is of ultimate concern to the Ontario School Bus Association and its members. We encourage the public to visit OSBA and MTO websites for important safety reminders.” YOUNG DRIVERS TIPS

Young Drivers of Canada are also offering back-to-school safety for drivers. “With children returning to school drivers need to be more cautious,” says the organiza-

tion in a news release. “Child pedestrians are most often hurt in the months of September and October and children aged 10-14 years have the highest incidence of pedestrian-related injuries. The roads are busier and drivers need to adjust their driving routine to help predict and prevent these injuries.” Young Drivers of Canada offers the following advice to drivers: • Be aware of school zone signage. • Reduce speed in school zones. A pedestrian struck by a car traveling at 50 km/hr is eight times more likely to be killed than a pedestrian struck at 30 km/hr. Even a small reduction in speed can be significant. • Wait for children to complete their crossing before proceeding. The most common child pedestrian action that results in injury or death is at an intersection, followed by running onto the road. • Motorists traveling in both directions must stop for the school bus except if the road is divided by a median. • Be prepared: school buses stop at all railway crossings, but are not required to use the upper red lights. • If you are driving children to school drop them off in a safe area away from traffic - most schools have designated drop off zones. • Change lanes early for bicycles. They should be treated as another vehicle so give them ample space. Be vigilant as many kids ride skateboards, scooters or roller blade on the road. • Always leave in plenty of time to get to your destination - running late can cause aggressive driving behaviors. “We need to keep in mind that younger children often lack the cognitive and physical skills to make safe judgments about traffic,” says the Young Drivers releases. “Children are also physically smaller which makes it harder for drivers to see them and for them to see us.” Young Drivers teaches that motorists should back in rather than out of driveways. The blind area to the rear of vehicle is much larger than the one to the front making it more difficult to see if there is a child behind your vehicle. Young Drivers also teaches a technique called ‘Ground View’. “As you approach any vehicle you cannot see through, look for the feet of a pedestrian about to walk in front of you or for the wheels of a bicycle.

Joining school sports teams will help your children become more active.

Advice from CAA Continued from PAge 50

The Canadian Automobile Association has also chimed in with back-to-school safety advice, urging drivers to slow down in school zones and watch for flashing bus lights. CAA’s tips for drivers include: • Always check for children on the sidewalk, driveway and behind your vehicle before backing up. • Remember to slow down in school zones. • Be ready to stop at all times because children may dart out between parked vehicles. • Try to make eye contact with children waiting to cross the street. • Come to a complete stop for school buses when lights are flashing.

to play. Playing sports on a team at school will help your children become more active, and if they follow the advice of their coaches, they’ll also be much more concerned about eating well. Many schools also offer a late bus service for students who go to the gym after classes. That means playing after-school sports won’t necessarily entail a lot of extra driving for you. And last but not least, think about the pride you’ll feel when you see your children playing. Who knows, perhaps they’ll be the star athletes of their teams! Whatever their role on their teams, they’ll be certain to cherish these memories for the rest of their lives, and so will you!

Confidence is the ultimate school supply. Whether your child is at the head of the class or needs a little help, Kumon provides the perfect foundation for the coming school year.

CAA’s tips for children include: • Stop before stepping onto the road. • Look in all directions before crossing the street. • Listen for traffic. • Walk, don’t run, across the road. CAA’s bus safety rules include: • Be at the bus stop on time and avoid running to or from the bus. • Wait for the bus in a safe place that is a good distance from the side of the road. • Use the hand rail when boarding or exiting the bus. • Keep feet out of the aisle to avoid tripping people as they enter and exit the bus. • Keep your head and arms inside the bus. • Always follow the bus driver’s instructions.

Lifestyle - If your children come home from school at the beginning of the school year asking if they can join the school’s volleyball or badminton team, think before you object. Joining a sports team or club is a great idea for several different reasons. Wearing the school’s colours encourages a feeling of belonging in your children. At the same time, it will probably help them to more easily accept the constraints of student life. Besides, many schools require that students maintain passing grades in order to play on teams. That can be a real source of motivation for students inclined towards homework laziness or who are less academically gifted than the average. The sedentary lifestyle of today’s young people is alarming. Kids no longer naturally migrate outdoors after school

Does she drag her heels as she gets 6 on the school bus? 1 Children who resist going to school might not be seeing its relevance in 3 their lives, or they might be unsure • about their abilities.

Marks aren’t everything. Chil- 5 dren hate being judged solely on their 7 marks. It’s true that results are important, but above all, take an interest in 7 what they are learning. 4 2.

The joy of reading is a gift to children Lifestyle - Sharing with your children the joy of reading is to offer them the most beautiful gift in the world: an open door to wonder and imagination, which they will be able to enjoy for the rest of their lives. There is no need to wait: research shows that children experience more academic success when the pleasures of words and reading are kindled before they start school. It is important, of course, to adapt the reading material to the age of the child. From zero to 2 years, babies will literally devour their books! Baby books must be very durable and, ideally, washable. As soon as babies can focus on an image, sharing a book together with a parent is a great way to spend time together. From three to five years, children start to be interested in stories with a narrative. Toddlers are likely to ask you to read them the

same book night after night. Comply without grumbling, because a passion is being born! Preschoolers, on the other hand, usually appreciate a variety of stories and illustrations. When they are school-age, continue to read to your children, even if they already know how to read alone. Then, gradually, take it in turns to read in order to encourage their progress. In addition to readers sent home from school, visit your local library as well so that you children can have access to a wider variety of books. An enjoyable outing to the library can be an incentive to read in itself. Last but not least, if they see you reading and hear you talking passionately about the books that you read, your children will almost inevitably grow up with a desire to do the same.

centrated effort (or any other ratio that works). • Invest in some educational computer software that will help your son feel excited about learning grammar, math, and other subjects. • Exchange privileges for achievements. For example, you might agree that your child can go to bed 15 minutes later than usual if she can finish her math homework in fewer than 15 minutes. Timing her will increase her concentration, but be realistic about the challenges; you don’t want to discourage her. • List each homework job to be done on a separate piece of paper and let your child pick the next task to tackle. Include a surprise note, on which might be written “take a ten minute break” or “enjoy a second story at bedtime”; this will add a touch of anticipation and encouragement to the jobs. • Be encouraging rather than stressed out. Congratulate your child for good results and be positive about future attempts. Most of all, help him or her to feel proud of their efforts.

Lifestyle - It’s not always fun to sit down with children to do homework. Imagine what it’s like for them, after a whole day of school! Turning homework into a game can help take the stress out of homework. With the following strategies you can make this obligation more fun for everybody. • Play school with your child. Find yourself a little desk, let her pretend to be the teacher, and ask her to show you how to write out her spelling words. This is especially effective if you create a “blackboard” with a piece of paper taped to the wall. • Allow your child to move around while working. After sitting all day at school, your son might have difficulty sitting still at the kitchen table. Allow him to stand up, and ask him to say his multiplication tables while throwing you a ball. • Reward work with play. Come to an agreement with your child to play with him or her for 5 minutes for every 15 minutes of con-

BACK TO SCHOOL

& 2013 FALL REGISTRATION Help alleviate back to school jitters A parent who is overly nervous or sad about the ďŹ rst day of school could make their kids nervous, too. Put on a brave face and keep any anxiety hidden until kids have left for school. • Be prepared. Gather supplies, practice the driving route, lay out clothes, make lunch the night before, get a good night’s rest, and set the alarm clock. Knowing all of the controllable factors are handled can ease the mind of parents and students.

R0012264640

that will be the inspiration for getting moving, such as school supply shopping. Take the carpool route to school, or ďŹ nd out where the school bus stop may be. These practice sessions will enable the family to decide how much time is needed to get ready in the morning and make changes accordingly. • Mention school frequently. Begin talking about school and what is necessary to prepare. Be sure to talk about the more enjoyable aspects of school, such as seeing friends, participating in extracurricular activities and even the change of scenery school provides. Mention the things your child may expect. Hearing about school frequently can reduce feelings of anxiety. • Visit the school. If this is the student’s ďŹ rst time entering this school, you can take advantage of orientation days for new students or schedule an individual visit to the school. A tour and a meeting with the principal will also assuage some fears of the unknown. This can also calm any apprehension parents may have, because they, too, will know the layout of the school, its policies, and who will be watching over their children. • Don’t be nervous. Children often look to their parents for guidelines on how to behave.

• Stay positive. Always keep conversations about school geared toward the positive. If children mention things that frighten them, calm those fears and show the upside to attending school. Provide examples of your own school experiences and how everything turned out for the best. The ďŹ rst day of school can be a time of uncertainty for students and parents. Adults are facing a new stage in their lives, and children are awaiting a classroom of new faces and requirements. Preparing for the ďŹ rst day can alleviate some of the anxiety about heading off to school for a new year. - Metro Creative Graphics

Is your child involved in too much? Lifestyle - We always want the best for our children. But sometimes we do too much for them, such as enrolling them in too many extra-curricular activities. When we do that, we deprive them of the creativity that comes from free time and the relationship building that comes from just being together. It’s normal to want our children to nurture a passion outside the classroom, and to learn self-discipline and focus; those are all good reasons to sign them up for classes in riding, karate, or guitar. Getting them involved in more than a couple of activities per week, however, can become a source of tension and stress in the home. Beyond logistical and time demands, it can also seriously cut into relaxed family time and edge out creative play. It causes stress in children when their activities become oriented

towards performance and achievement. It’s important to leave room for unstructured play that is unsupervised by adults. It might mean a shift of perspective for many of us, but “freeâ€? play is not a waste of time. On the contrary, it can help children learn to manage their time according to their own rules and to develop their creativity. On the afternoons and evenings when no extracurricular sports or artistic activities are on the menu, family meals can regain their rightful place in the schedule. It is the perfect time to gather, share the highlights of the day, and build the loving relationships that are so beneďŹ cial to our children. A balance between school, family life, scheduled activities, and free time is essential. The lesson of the day is very simple: aim for balance in everything; it is the surest route to happiness.

Lifestyle - The ďŹ rst day of school can create butteries in the stomachs of parents and children. However, following a few tips can alleviate feelings of nervousness. August and September are prime months for the return to school. Whether this is a child’s ďŹ rst time entering the classroom or he or she has done the back-toschool thing multiple times, it’s not uncommon for feelings of anxiety to arise. There are expectations and unknowns with each and every school year for both the students and their parents. Pivotal years, such as kindergarten, 6th grade for middle-schoolers, freshman year of high school, or the start of college can create added levels of jitters because these years mark entry to a new school or new routine. But keeping a few pointers in mind can alleviate some of the fears. • Keep a routine. It is important for parents and students to get back into the school swing of things a few weeks prior to the ďŹ rst day of school. Start setting alarm clocks for the hour at which kids will have to awaken, and get them in the habit of rising from bed and starting the day. Try to schedule something to do each day

First of all, get ready to step out of your comfort zone of sandwich, veggie sticks, and an apple or banana. An easy way to create variety is by changing the kind of bread you use. Trade in traditional sliced bread for Indian naan bread or half a pita bread.

Federal government funding biotech jobs will help new graduates with backgrounds in sciences get experience applying their knowledge and learning about the business side of the science industry. About 110 jobs, ranging from three months to a year placement, will be 50 per cent paid for by the funding, and 50 per cent paid for by the employer through the wage-subsidy program. Employers across Canada can apply for the funding to bring in new employees. South Ottawa based Spartan Bioscience is one of the businesses that has applied for the funds. “It helps young people develop and build the skills they need,� said Galipeau, adding there is a “growing mismatch� between graduates’ skills and skills in demand. Jobs in biotechnology include pharmaceuticals, natural resources and agriculture.

News - The federal government will give BioTalent Canada $1.5 million towards funding biotech jobs for new post-secondary graduates. Ottawa-OrlĂŠans MP Royal Galipeau was at the BioTalent offices in downtown Ottawa on Aug. 28 to make the announcement on behalf of Minister of State for Social Development Candice Bergen. Galipeau said that while many students study what they’re interested in at university but it doesn’t always lead the way to job opportunities. “I think it’s marrying the business of science with technical knowledge,â€? said BioTalent president Rob Henderson of the funding.

News - It will be all about babies at an upcoming show aimed at new parents. Ottawa’s first-ever Baby Show will be held at the Ernst & Young Centre on Sept. 28 and 29, and is set to feature a wide range of seminars, demonstrations, and performances from experts in the world of pregnancy and early parenting. Show manager Sylvia Franklin said the goal of the show is for parents and expectant parents to leave with more knowledge about motherhood and to discover some of the best products for maternity, baby and toddler. Franklin said they are expecting thousands of people to come to the show, and hopes the show will provide them with the guidance they might be seeking. “It’s quite the journey they have to make as parents,” she said. “There are always lots of questions. They’ll learn ev-

erything about motherhood – from breastfeeding to other topics like keeping the house in order as a mom. You’re so absorbed with your baby for the first few months, but mothers need to realize they need to take care of themselves too, so we will have different exhibitors on hand to showcase their own products especially for moms.” Part of the show’s goal is to reassure parents they are not alone in this new phase of their life and to provide them with online resources – such as mothers’ groups, which are quickly on the rise among new and young moms, Franklin said. Families will get the answers they’re seeking on pregnancy, postpartum depression, and parenting from leading industry experts, and will receive simple ways to maneuver through issues like sleeping to feeding time, she said. As of press time, there were approximately 120 vendors signed up for the event, but Franklin said they’re expecting more as time goes

on. A myriad of local and regional exhibitors will be on hand under one roof, and will also feature one of North America’s early parenting and baby experts: Ann Douglas, who will be helping families learn what they need to know to get ready for birthdays, babies and parenthood. But while the show’s topic may be a serious one in education, it will also have its share of fun, including a chance for children to meet Barney and Angelina Ballerina. Also, children can enjoy a bouncy castle and sing-alongs with the Ottawa Public Library. A special VIP Lounge will allow both pregnant and new moms enjoy extra pampering and receive a few goodies. The Ernst & Young Centre is located at 4899 Uplands Dr. and the show takes place 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days. Admission is $10 and children under 12 are free.

Soccer field welcomed if parking problems solved Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Greely could score a new mini soccer field as early as this fall - as long as the city can address residents’ traffic concerns. Ottawa South United soccer club has offered to pay for a new mini soccer field along the southern border of Andy Shields Park in an effort to increase play space for their club. Residents generally welcomed the idea when it was put to them by the Greely Community Association this summer, but with a few conditions. “I had a lot of responses from the people in that area who were extremely concerned about traffic and parking because they’re already having trouble with the (current) field,” said association president Bruce Brayman. He said the parking lot off Quinnfield Way, which serves the sports fields that already exist in the southwest end of the park, fills up rapidly during games, and many parents have to park on nearby streets. Families running late also tend to speed through the neighbourhood to get there, he said. “(Residents) already are not happy.” Brayman has asked the city to push the proposed mini field further along

the southern border so it is as close as possible to the community centre. That would encourage soccer families to use that parking lot instead, he said. “The planner says he’s sure he can push it up a good amount but he’s just not sure how much,” Brayman said, noting that the ground is quite uneven closer to the centre. “If he doesn’t satisfy us there’s going to be no support from anyone.” Ottawa South United general manager Jim Lianos said he thinks the new field could be installed as early as this fall, which means it would be ready for use when soccer starts up again next spring. He said adding fields like this is important for the club and its many players. “Soccer’s growing, our club is growing and that’s an area that’s not really properly serviced,” he said. “We have the funding and we might as well put it back into the community.” Lianos refused to specify how much the field would cost. The field would be city-owned, and would be open to the public when soccer games and other permit-holding activities are not taking place. The city could not be reached for comment by press time.

Ozen, who planned the event on behalf of the store, said this next year’s event will be on the calendar much earlier so golfers can work it into their summer.

Curling club looks to sweep in reno cash Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - The Manotick Curling Centre is rocking out this September to sweep in a bit of cash for renovations. The three-sheet facility on South River Drive was built in 1965, and is in dire need of upgrades. This summer members were able to replace the facility’s leaking roof with help from the Ottawa Valley Curling Association, and a new sign at the corner of South River and Van Vliet Drive is under construction thanks to a grant from the city’s Rural Affairs office. But more needs to be done, and the club’s Renovations and Infrastructure Strategy for Enhancing Structure (RAISE) committee is hoping to raise a little cash at several events this fall. “September is our big kicker before the season starts,� said Roz Kee, a member of the renovations committee. Priority projects for 2013 and 2014 include installing new siding and insulation around the outside of the building, replacing the septic system and renovating the floors and kitchen. Working through 2014 and into 2015, the club wants to make the centre more accessible, particularly the entrance which is surrounded by sets of stairs. The September festivities will heat up with a chili cook-off on Saturday, Sept. 7. Beginning at 5 p.m. families can judge the winning chili for themselves while enjoying live band Informed Consent. Tickets are $10 at Manotick Office Pro. The following Saturday, Sept. 14 the Manotick Lions will fill the facility with the sights, sounds and smells of all things German with their annual Oktoberfest. Beginning at 5:30 p.m., a classic German dinner, wine made in the German style and a 20-piece German

band will keep the curling club rocking into the wee hours. Turtle Island, one of the newest breweries in Ottawa, and Broadhead Brewing Company will serve their locally crafted beer and the Oktoberfest sausages will come from a local butcher, said organizer Kris Schulz. Tickets are $30 for adults, and $15 for kids aged 7 to 18. Kids six and under are free. The ticket price includes the meal and one drink. Schulz said at least 25 per cent of the evening’s proceeds will go to the curling club’s infrastructure fund. Kee said the facility also plans to host a community garage sale on Sept. 21. She said she hopes to raise about $1,000 from each of these events, which would complement the grant applications they have been sending out to the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Ottawa Valley Curling Association and others. She said she hopes the community comes out to the events to support the facility that not only encourages the sport of curling, but also serves as a hub for charitable, private and community events. “We’re part of the fabric of the community, we’re just not on the main street,� Kee said. Kee said these upgrades – particularly the improved insulation – will make the centre a more attractive venue for community events in the summer, because it will no longer feel like a hot, humid garage. She said the winter months will benefit too, because the old insulation was not meant to protect against the extreme temperature swings like we see today. “We depended on it always being cold,� Kee said. “With all the changes in temperature, that’s changed.� In the end, the club wants to instil some longevity into the 48-year-old building. “We want to make this a facility in the long term for future genera-

Roz Kee sits on the renovations committee at the Manotick Curling Centre. The facility needs to raise more than $300,000 over the next few years to modernize the building on South River Drive.

Gees-Gees back at Lees Campus stadium Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Sports - The Gee-Gees are heading back their home turf for the football team’s home opener. After last year’s relocation to a field 40 minutes outside of Ottawa – Beckwith field in Carleton Place -- the University of Ottawa’s football team will return to a new field on Lees Avenue for a game against the University of Toronto on Sept. 7 at 1 p.m. The team was moved out of Lansdowne Park when the reconstruction of Frank Clair Stadium began last year. Then last August the city and the university formed a partnership to build the $8 million facility located at 200 Lees Ave. The project aimed to increase the number of sports and recreation programs available for students and residents living in wider community, with 10,000 hours each year available to rent. According to the university, this new sports facility will be the first time in more than 120 years the football team will

The Gee-Gees field is ready and waiting for its team to come home on Sept. 7. The game will also be the University of Ottawa’s official opening of the new sports field at 200 Lees Ave. play games on the university campus. Construction was to have been completed last November, but a series of delays has meant the project took a year to finish. The home opener will feature extra festivities this year as the university plans to also

officially open the field with an event to welcome local dignitaries and residents to the new field. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he is excited for the team to be back, and is looking forward to the first home game. “I plan to be at the game,

I still have to buy tickets, but I am a big football fan,� he said. Fleury added that he hopes area residents also come out to the game. “It’s an opportunity for residents to enjoy good football. I think as residents it’s a great chance to see local sports and it’s about supporting local sports,� he said. Along with a home opener,

Fleury said, comes many students and fans through the Sandy Hill community and because of that, his staff has been working closely with the university to ensure things like foot traffic and garbage along the Rideau River pathway and noise in the neighbourhood do not get out of hand. He said he would like to see garbage cans along the pathway to limit the amount

of cleanup would need to happen after the game. Action Sandy Hill, the area’s community association has also been proactively informing its residents about the upcoming event, including posting information on its website, ash-acs.ca. Before the game, barbecue and beer garden will take place in the rear courtyard behind the stadium, which will open at 11 a.m. and will serve food and alcohol until the fourth quarter. There will be no public parking at 200 Lees Ave. on game days. Three parking lots will be made available on the university’s campus, with a complimentary shuttle running from Minto Sports Complex to the stadium. The Gee-Gees will take on local rivals the Carleton Ravens on Oct. 5. Fleury said his office is working at ensuring if any improvements can be made for how the university hosts home games will be fixed by this game. The university’s students federation will not be hosting a specific event for the game, but will have a table set up at the game to promote and hand out information about the association.

Hall contacted Sharon Leeming to see if she had dancers who could help him organize a flash mob to the Bruno Mars song, Marry You. The proposal took about two months to put together, with Joe working with the dancers and choreographer and dance teacher Dominic Prud’Homme. Thousands of people watched the proposal online after the dance studio uploaded it to their Facebook page and YouTube, and Leeming has been contacted already about helping with another proposal. The video ends, of course, with Hall down on one knee, proposing to Croskery. She said yes. “She’s still on Cloud 9,” he said. They plan to wed in the fall of 2014.

Sports - The East Nepean team that represented Canada at the Little League World series in Williamsport, Pa. was given a heroes homecoming at the Royal Oak on Strandherd Drive on Aug. 28. The team of 11-and 12-year-olds bested the Oakville Whitecaps in Casselman, Ont. to take the provincial championship, then claimed the Canadian Little League title after defeating the White Rock All Stars during a competition in Glace Bay, N.S. Despite being eliminated from the Worlds by Panama, Nepean’s Eagles were greeted with fanfare from the community, the coaching staff and league volunteers. “Just to win against all the other little league teams in Ottawa is amazing, then to win the provincials is fantastic; winning nationals is mind blowing. We are so proud of you,” said Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder. Harder added that in the age of social media, residents could follow along with the progress of their home team via Twitter and cheer them on. “Last time East Nepean went to Worlds we had to watch the game at the Nepean Sportsplex.” Team manager Mark Keeping said

Caring and Sharing Exchange getting provincial boost “The databases at the time, (there were) problems,� said Friday. “This will help so much because we can get together, know what’s going on, see the master file and what is duplicated.� Families that rely on services provided by the many charities have been inconvenienced in the past because of this phenomenon, said Friday. Cindy Smith, executive director of the Caring and Sharing Exchange, expressed her thanks on behalf of her board, partners and volunteers Her aim for the organization moving forward is simple. “We can just keep enhancing what we do, do it better and more efficiently,� said Smith. Erin Fitzpatrick, a social worker with the Southeast Ottawa Community Health Centre, had arrived at the announcement on her way to pick up backpacks filled with school supplies for families living in her area. The back-to-school help provided by the Caring and Sharing Exchange and its partners is crucial, she explained. “We start getting requests in June -- demand is great,� she said, adding, “It’s basically an essential service.�

News - The services provided by Ottawa’s Caring and Sharing Exchange have never been in higher demand, meaning any outside help is greatly appreciated. On Aug. 29, Ottawa West MPP Bob Chiarelli announced a cash injection of $28,500 from The Ontario Trillium Foundation to help the organization in its city-wide efforts. “It is known as an organization that has provided services for back to school to assist families, at Christmas time, but for the last several years they have engaged in a new service, which is coordinating services for over 300 Ottawa non-profit charitable organizations,â€? said Chiarelli, addingthe effort is designed to reduce duplication and streamline services. “In that regard, I understand they have been able to save organizations ‌ more than $2 million over the last three or four years, which is very significant. They are going very high tech, and using databases and technology to coordinate the services of the Ottawa area charitable groups.â€?
