A former OPP officer is proactively tackling posttraumatic stress disorder for emergency and first responders. Dan Bowers, a 30-year veteran of the Ontario Provincial Police, created First Eyes, a program to help people who are at risk of developing PTSD. The Nepean resident said he couldn’t sit by as he continued to hear about first responders dying by suicide. “Every time I would hear a news account or pick up a newspaper and read about another first responder or military suicide it just started to build and build in me. I just became very frustrated in the whole system,”

I knew something was wrong with me but I didn’t know what it was.”

‘It wasn’t going to end well’: retired officer Continued from page 1
Dan Bowers/Submitted
Dan Bowers is seen in his OPP uniform in a photo, dated 1985. Bowers spent 30 years on the force and developed PTSD as a result of his employment. The Nepean resident created First Eyes to help others at risk of mental illness or injury develop a proactive plan in the event of a diagnosis.
Bowers enlisted at age 17 and served in the Canadian Forces for four years before joining the OPP in 1978. Over the first two decades, he worked patrol, in the criminal investigations unit and the 911 call centre. His final 10 years was spent at Interpol in Ottawa, working the international fugitive investigation section. He retired in 2008. Traumatic events accumulated over the course of his career. Bowers doesn’t speak to any particular incident because he said it doesn’t do any good to bring up past events. “How I got there is not what’s relevant. What’s relevant is that I got there,” he said. To deal with his experiences, Bowers began to pull back from his relationships and used alcohol to cope. Then, in 1997, he was diagnosed with depression and sleep apnea and prescribed
medication. It worked for a while, but then it stopped. “I still didn’t know about PTSD,” Bowers said. “I was still, especially after I retired, badly abusing alcohol, still unable to connect on an emotional level and I made some very, very poor decisions.” A year after Bowers retired, a friend suggested he see a psychologist who specializes in PTSD and mental health for first responders. By then, he knew what he was grappling with but was hesitant to seek outside help. “I was still really afraid; afraid of the stigma and afraid of what I was going to find out if I did go,” he said. “But I knew I couldn’t keep going the way that I was going because it was, I’ll just say, it wasn’t going to end well.”
“I was still really afraid; afraid of the stigma and afraid of what I was going to find out.” DAN BOWERS, RETIRED OPP OFFICER
“It’s open to anybody in any line of work that is at risk,” said Bowers. “It’s not just first responders and military, that is one thing that should be really, really clear.”

PTSD program offers strategies, tools for families in event of diagnosis Continued from page 3
Bowers used his own experiences, as well as the experiences of other first responders, to create a checklist of information and tools that would have been valuable to have before a mental
health illness. He interviewed couples without mental injuries or illnesses, others who had been diagnosed, and spoke with widows of first responders who died by suicide. The feedback, he said, has positive.
“In every single case, every single case, they all said, ‘Absolutely, this addresses everything I could have hoped for and more,’” said Bowers. The eight-module program has couples work together and form a strategy that can be used in the

event of a PTSD diagnosis, including how to talk with their children, how to find a clinician and how to prepare for a change in finances. “A lot of people don’t think about the financial side of things but finances are a huge concern. Psychologists aren’t covered — it costs money. You have to prepare for that,” Bowers said. “In the event something happens, you have a rock solid plan in place and you know all of the key information that you need to know. It’s all stuff that you’ve discussed before a mentalhealth injury and it addresses the most important concerns that everybody faces.” And the program doesn’t just focus on the at-risk person, it also deals with the partner — something Bowers said is missing in a lot of mental-health programs. “The support issue has always been there for the person at risk but there’s no support for the family, so I actually have them build this together,” he said. “You owe this to your partner, to your children and your friends.” •••

Bowers, who has PTSD himself, says he couldn’t sit by as he continued to hear about first responders dying by suicide. injuries don’t only affect the person who is diagnosed; it has a ripple effect, often impacting all areas of a person’s life. “We don’t look at family issues nearly enough and we don’t look at promotion and prevention nearly enough,” said Manion, who has worked with all levels of government on youth mental
health, suicide prevention and youth engagement. “The parents’ day-to-day lives, work lives and home lives can directly and indirectly affect kids … They know when parents have a good day or a bad day, when parents are interacting differently.” See RETIRED, page 5

I hope this never happens to YOU. I was getting home from out of town. I was excited because I was throwing a big party this weekend. Two days before the party, when I got home, my house was flooded! I couldn’t believe it. I had been gone and expected some pipes to be fixed that were being worked on and had hoped everything would be fine when I got there. It wasn’t! I was dead come tomorrow! I was so irate. I called my plumber, yelled at my guy, threatened, it didn’t matter. He needed some parts and wouldn’t have them until Monday (actually he could get them but he doesn’t work weekends). I started calling every plumber in the book. I was getting nowhere. So I went to a friend and he referred me to his plumber. This guy listened, understood, and was willing to work through the night to make sure I had everything I needed. I owe them my social status. They aren’t like any other plumber in town. Call them at 613-224-6335 and ask for their FREE booklet, “How To Avoid The 7 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Hiring A Plumber.” Also, ask for information about their “Plumbing Safety Inspection” special which can save you money AND the grief I went through.

Lieutenant Tim Grutzius is a firefighter in suburban Chicago and has spoken publicly about his PTSD. firefighter in suburban Chicago with 23 years of service, heard about First Eyes when he and Bowers were speakers at a conference in Vaughan, Ont., earlier this year. “My immediate thoughts about first hearing about this program was how awesome it was,” said Grutzius, who helped Bowers get on the speaker list for the upcoming symposium. “I love how by the end of the program, the family will have a game plan in place should the first responder become de-
tached mentally or withdraws from life as a result of job-related exposure to trauma.” Grutzius has spoken publicly about his PTSD, his triggers and the treatment he sought. The thing he regrets most is the impact his untreated PTSD had on his wife. “A lesser person probably would have walked away and she didn’t do that,” he said in an interview posted to YouTube. “I couldn’t have gotten this far without her.” Bowers’ program is the first step to open an honest dia-
logue between first responders and their partners and families, he said, adding First Eyes should be a required component of all emergency responder curriculums. “When we enter this profession, we know we are going to see bad things but may not realize to what degree this is going to affect us,” Grutzius said. “He will help thousands to get out in front of potential issues way before it becomes a serious issue.” For Bowers, he doesn’t want to see another first responder die by suicide. The hope is that
participants complete the plan, take it home and put it away, and hope they never have to use it, he said. “I wouldn’t wish where I went on my worst enemy. And

Having a foundation in place before a mental-health concern promotes better communication, which in turn encourages healthier coping and treatment opportunities, said Manion. “You can actually start thinking about, ‘If something were to go wrong, how would we seek help, who would we talk to, how would we manage telling the kids?’ “You’re thinking about all of that when you’re actually motivated and you are lucid and you are success-oriented, so you don’t have to be reactive or impulsive in how you deal with things.”
through all the pain and everything I’ve been through, if I can help one person, one couple, one family, from going down that road, I would be quite happy,” he said. “PTSD is not a death sentence. It’s a major setback, absolutely, but you can go on and live a very, very productive life.” For more information, visit firsteyes.ca.

Lowering our standards to meet the standard
S
ix years ago, the Public Health Agency of Canada lowered minimum fitness guidelines for children and adults. At the time, less than half of Canadian adults and fewer than 12 per cent of children were meeting the daily recommendations for nonsedentary behaviour. The agency defended the move by citing research showing any activity was better than none at all, at the same time admitting that more activity is almost always better. The thinking was if they lowered the bar, perhaps more Canadians would be encouraged to meet the minimum standard. Fast forward to now and the stats are pretty much the same, even though we don’t need as much exercise to make the grade. Despite the futility of lowering the bar to encourage higher numbers, it seems Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is thinking along the same lines when it comes to elementary school mathematics. Ontario students once again failed to make the grade in math in the most recent bout of standardized testing across the province. For the second year in a row, just half of grade six students and 62 per cent of grade three students managed to meet the provincial standard in math. Declining scores over the past decade have been the catalyst for a $60 million investment from the province. One year ago, and three years after the downward trend was identified, Ontario implemented an overhaul of the math curriculum, including a promise to commit more time per school day to the study of this core subject. The numbers released in August suggest a year is not enough to overturn nearly a decade of stagnation, followed by decline. The government says it will likely be a number of years before the changes have any impact on the province’s math scores. In the meantime, the premier

to memorize things, from alphabets to equations that will turn up time and again. As an adult professional learning French, I spent much time last spring reading literature and listening to dialogue on the radio and television — that was the creative and interesting part. But I also made endless, repetitive lists of verbs and their various conjugations, which I could rapidly recall when in the midst of conversation with a classmate or during an off-the-cuff presentation. It also came in handy when I did the testing at the end, a multiple choice, standardized test. The test didn’t need to measure my ability to creatively communicate in French; it merely needed to demonstrate that I knew advanced French grammar. It’s the same for math. I’m all for shaking up the curriculum. And I have great expectations that we can once again get kids memorizing basic

Parking needs flexibility
T
he city will soon revamp the length of time you can park on a street that does not have parking signs. It may come as a surprise to some motorists that a curb with no signs has a threehour time limit. In most cases it doesn’t matter – only if someone complains about your car does the city check up on you. Next June 1, the limit will be doubled to six hours. It seems reasonable, but clearly doesn’t go far enough. No one wants cars parked for days or weeks in the same spot, but six hours provides little benefit compared with three hours. Six hours is not the length of many workdays, so it’s not much use to anyone heading to an office for a 9-to-5 job. And six hours isn’t enough time to have a full night’s sleep. It seems the outgoing three-hour limit wasn’t enforced much anyway – a city manager reports only 33 such tickets were issued on weekends in 2016. What the city needs is short time limits in some
places and leisurely limits elsewhere. If a space is located in an area where we want to encourage parking space turnover – near a shopping area for example – stick to three hour parking, or less, during shopping times and leave it unlimited from evening to morning In other areas – suburbs, away from retail – why not allow 23 hours of parking? That would mean cars that have basically been abandoned can still be ticketed, while allowing others to park where there’s plenty of space available. We’ve all paid for roads through taxes, why not allow drivers to use them as parking spaces where things are quiet? The potential downside to six-hour limits is a reduction in parking turnover in places where parking is in high demand. It may tempt some office workers to clog up a neighbourhood for the morning, then clog it up again by moving their cars at lunchtime. Each street and each neighbourhood has different requirements, and a one-size-fits-all policy is a wishy-washy policy. It’s not clear that a six hour rule is going to be much better than the three hours we’re allowed today.
School naming will never please everyone
T
here was a back-to-school photo in the newspaper that triggered more thoughts about the school-naming controversy of the recently concluded summer. The photo showed a mother and daughter hugging at Vimy Ridge Public School in suburban Ottawa. Vimy Ridge — a new school and what a good name for it. The name celebrates one of the pivotal moments in Canadian history. There are other important events in Canadian history, other historic places and they could have schools named after them. Whether those names should replace Sir John A. Macdonald, and other famous Canadians now deemed to be flawed, is another question. But at least we can agree that Canada does not need more things named after Sir John A. There are lots of other good names out there. Or are there?
ter because his record was blemished? There is a different answer for minor figures in our history. The renaming of the Langevin Block in downtown Ottawa causes little alarm because Hector Funny Town Langevin was not as important — and few Canadians knew who he was.

some of the issues that are at the heart of the renaming controversy. The more understanding there is, the better the chance is of righting some historical wrongs. Better historical understanding begins with increased teaching of history in schools, beginning at the elementary level and continuing. It also wouldn’t hurt to improve and broaden the teaching of politics at the high school level and attempt to increase interest in current affairs. To do so courts controversy, but the kids can handle it — if their parents can. History doesn’t have to be dull, particularly if it is taught warts and all. Sir John A. was a fascinating man, with many faults, personal and political. Those faults make him all the more fascinating — especially, perhaps, to those in schools named after him.

Legion Week begins at Kanata branch Sept. 17 BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com
There are plenty of activities taking place at the Kanata branch for Legion Week. The seven days worth of events, taking place from Sept. 17 to 23, offers the public a chance to learn about legion activities and what it does in the community, said Moira Green, a member of the Kanata Legion. “If you want to do something for (your) community, we’re one of the places that you need to be,” she said. “Everything we do benefits our veterans, seniors and youth within our community.” Legion membership is open to everyone, not just those who are serving or have served the military. The Kanata branch hosts and takes part in numerous events within the community, including Remembrance Day ceremonies, commemoration events and youth education, as well as supporting a number of area organizations.

Community choral singing with the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers Do you like to sing? Would you like to become a better singer? Would you like to learn to read music? Would you like to do all of this, and make new friends in the community at the same time? Then the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers invites you to try out the GJS choir, risk-free during the month of September. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers is a non-auditioned community choir organization, offering a wide variety of musical and social experiences. There are ensembles for adults, teens, and children. All three groups rehearse on Wednesday evenings in Stittsville. Each choir performs on its own in the community, and we also perform together. This inter-generational focus is unique in the community. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers choirs offer the opportunity to make music, build new friendships, and develop musicianship. Thousands of Canadians are involved in choirs, and they can attest to the many benefits: improved breathing, posture,

coordination, stress reduction, and improved muscle tension, to name a few. Choral singing is the perfect icebreaker for someone new to a community. The Junior Jubilees, children’s choir (ages eight to 13) rehearses on Wednesdays from 5:45 to 6:45. It is the only children’s choir in the west end. The choir develops poise and selfconfidence in the youngsters, and builds musicianship, literacy and performance skills. It offers quality “non-screen time” and real inter-generational friendships. It nurtures a spirit of community outreach and service. The GJS teens group (ages 13 to 16) rehearses Wednesdays 5:45 to 7:15. It performs independently, but also provides wonderful support to the younger JJs. In return, the teens learn valuable leadership and mentoring skills, as well as musicianship. Opportunities to sing with the adult choir encourage the teens to explore singing as a life-long pleasure. The adult choir includes family units and neighbours. We
rehearse Wednesdays 7:30 to 9:30. We love to sing together, and work hard to always sing our best! In addition to local appearances, we have enjoyed travelling to sing at festivals in Canada and Europe. The GJS performs classical, folk, jazz, Christmas, sacred, Broadway, film, and pop repertoire. Each concert includes a variety of styles, usually built around a common theme. We sing in several languages, and guest instrumentalists from the community are often included. You do not need to be able to read music, as mp3s are provided for practicing and we all help each other! This season’s concerts will be: * We’re Ready For Christmas! Dec. 2 (evening) and Dec. 3 (afternoon) * Celtic Ceilidh! March 2 at 7 pm * Lean On Me: May 6 (evening) As the GJS begins its 41st season, they are welcoming new singers.

150-km ruck march raising funds for veterans Road to Recovery will end at Kanata Legion Sept. 17 BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Participants in this year’s Road to Recovery ruck march will finish their 150-kilometre trek at the Kanata Legion on Sunday, Sept. 17. It’s the first time the event, now in its fourth year, is coming to Ottawa, and founder Lino Di Julio said it’s fitting for Canada’s ses-
quicentennial. “Traditionally we cover two kilometres for every veteran lost the year before. It usually works out to 100 to 175 kilometres,” he said. “This year, we’re doing 150 kilometres for Canada’s birthday. We’ll be going from the Petawawa Legion and heading south to the Kanata Legion.” Di Julio developed the Ruck 2 Remember organi-
zation, based in Hamilton, after discovering his epilepsy wouldn’t allow him to enlist. “When I was growing up, my intention was always to join the military,” he said in a phone interview on Sept. 6. “Being epileptic disqualifies you, so I wasn’t able to serve.” Instead of giving up, he said he decided to find a way to support members and veterans of the Cana-
dian Forces, as well as other first responders, and Ruck 2 Remember was born. The not-for-profit, which organizes the Road to Recovery ruck march, creates awareness and offers support to paramedics, firefighters, law enforcement and military personnel. Donations received during the trek go to Operation: Leave the Streets Behind, a fund that helps to permanently house veterans as well as assist them with rental, furniture and medical needs.
$25,000, and Di Julio said he’s hoping to beat that number this year. If the team can hit $35,000, “that would be amazing,” he said. “That money will help a lot of veterans who need it.”
“We spent some time figuring out which group we wanted to support,” said Di Julio. “We were confident that 100 per cent of what we were raising was actually going to help (veterans) transition back to civilian life.” The 2016 ruck raised

Welcome walkers at Kanata Legion fundraising barbecue Continued from page 12
The event also acts as a bridge between civilians and front line responders, as the stops at various legions along the route give the groups a chance to socialize. “I think bridging that gap is something that’s really important,” Di Julio said. “It’s a great way for (civilians) to help with a (military) community that in Canada, we don’t necessarily talk a lot about and that doesn’t historically ask for help.” Ruck participants will begin the four-day trek at the Petawawa Legion on Sept. 14, and stop at legions in Cobden, Renfrew and Arnprior before making their way to Kanata. The end of the ruck will kick off Legion Week at the
Kanata branch, which runs Sept. 17 to 23. To celebrate, the legion is hosting a fundraising barbecue, beginning at 5 p.m. “Everybody’s welcome,” said Moira Green, member of the Kanata Legion. “Come and say hello to the soldiers and celebrate the finish of their walk.” The cost of food is by donation with proceeds going to veterans facing homelessness. “I would encourage people to come out and say hey to the people that are there,” Di Julio said. “They’re not only supporting the guys financially but they’ll meet some of the veterans and hear their stories.” The Road to Recovery ruck march will end at the Kanata Legion, located at
Ruck 2 Remember/Facebook
Participants in this year’s Road to Recovery ruck march will finish their 150-kilometre trek at the Kanata Legion on Sunday, Sept. 17. The march raises funds to support the Royal Canadian Legion’s Operation: Leave the Streets Behind program, which provides funds to veterans facing homelessness.
Congratulations!!
70 Hines Rd., on Sept. 17 around 5 p.m. For more information or to donate online, visit ruck2remember.com/roadto-recovery.html.

The Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club will be providing an e-waste depot for residents to recycle all manner of electronic goods. On Saturday, Sept. 30, at the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre, 170 Castlefrank Rd., Kanata Lions will greet drive-thru residents and help them to unload electronic items from their vehicles, from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. All proceeds will go to a principal charity of the club, the Queensway-Carleton Hospital acute care centre for the
elderly unit. This new sector of QCH provides leading-edge treatment in geriatric medicine. The object of the e-waste exercise, which will indeed involve quite a bit of exercise for the Lions, will be to fill up containers with as much “previously-enjoyed” technology as possible. Proceeds will be paid to the Lions according to the weight of what is donated. Eligible items include: • TVs • amplifiers • audio and video players and recorders • cell phones • computers: desktop, laptop and peripherals
• copiers • digital cameras • fax machines • monitors • pagers and PDAs • printers • radios • receivers • scanners • speakers • telephones and answering machines • turntables • video projectors Also welcome will be textiles: clothing, bedding, towels and tablecloths.

I want to thank our community for rallying around our family in our time of need. Last weekend I noticed a small ring of flame inside the pot on the stove. I took the lid off and the flames shot straight up to the ceiling and in minutes our home was filled with massive amounts of smoke and the flames didn’t want to be put out.
We called 911 and the firemen arrived in minutes. They saved our family, our home and our wide selection of animals and were very kind. Our neighbours provided some comfort and our community stepped in and helped out. Strangers I didn’t know came to take me grocery shopping, to the doctor, and provided gift cards and cash, and our TD bank helped replace our groceries.
We were shocked and devastated and didn’t know how to feed our kids or animals while insurance kicked in, and everyone just stepped in and helped us out. We are feeling very blessed to be part of such a generous and loving community and we can’t wait to pay it forward ourselves one day soon. Thank you, the Moores

Minister Deb Matthews visits Algonquin to talk changes to student loans BY CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com
Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Development Deb Matthews visited Algonquin College on Sept. 11 to speak with students and discuss the effects of the changes the Ontario government made to OSAP,
the student loan program. According to Matthews, 50,000 more students applied for OSAP this year than last year, and one in every two students has free tuition through OSAP. “As someone who has been in politics for 14 years now it’s not very often you get to see the impact of changes at the policy level,” said Matthews.
Anyone in a family with income less that $175,000 is eligible to receive some sort of funding. According to Matthews, the cost of textbooks has increased by 80 per cent over the last decade. In response to that, the government of Ontario is working with the government of British Columbia to bring their free textbook program
to Ontario colleges and universities. As of now there are 200 free textbooks offered to students, with plans to increase the number in the near future. B.C. has calculated that they have saved upwards of $4 million in textbooks since the beginning of the program. “Whenever financial burdens can be removed or alleviated, our students
and our graduates’ chances of success increase,” said Algonquin College president Cheryl Jensen. Matthews also spoke about the planned minimum wage increase and how students will benefit from the added pay. For more information on the changes made to OSAP visit ontario.ca/OSAP.
YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR A GOVERNMENT REFUND Do you or a family member have...

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills
Alienating the Middle Class Politicians are elected to serve the interests of the people in the best way they see fit. That means it is an elected official’s job to oppose bad policy. And sometimes, it means speaking out against other levels of government. This is the first of a multipart series on how the new tax reforms proposed by the federal government will negatively impact the middle class. The same middle class they so often proclaim to fight for. These reforms have been incorrectly billed as a fix to tax “loopholes.” This language has made professionals, farmers, and other small business owners feel like they are tax cheats. The practices set to change are—and have been for a long time—legal. Not only are they legal, successive governments have encouraged these hardworking members of the middle class to take advantage of the tax code in order to save money for retirement. But now, finance minister Morneau does not want them to save for retirement. He does not want them to be able to grow their businesses or create new jobs. He just wants their money.

MPP Jack MacLaren admits that next election will be bit of an uphill battle
IT $ PAYS $
TO ADVERTISE!
Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren is looking forward to the next provincial election in June 2018. Speaking at a West Carleton Men’s Ministry breakfast meeting, he confirmed that he will be running in the election as a Trillium Party candidate. He admits that it will be a bit of an uphill battle taking on candidates from more established parties but adds that he is known as he has been around now as an MPP for six years. He says that he expects to do well in Kanata, particularly among new Canadians whom he says appreciate and understand democracy and freedom, just like he does. Indeed, he said that he joined the Trillium Party because it is a party that also values democracy and freedom. MacLaren said that he left the Conservatives in May and joined the threeyear old Trillium Party because he was not good at toeing the party line and that it became clear to him that it was time to leave and join another party. He said that he believes that the job of an MPP is to listen to constituents and to be their voice at Queen’s Park. This means that an MPP needs the freedom to speak and vote on their behalf and not on behalf of a political party. He said that established political parties these days are very controlling, insisting that the first job of an MPP is loyalty to the party. He said that MPP’s are given talking points on issues and are told how to vote. He said that this became very frustrating for him as one who values democracy and freedom and who wants to listen to constituents and speak on their behalf. “The point of government is to help people,” MacLaren said, citing three
areas where he feels that the provincial government has to do better. These are helping struggling seniors, helping those with mental health problems and helping those with autism. “We just need to do better” in these three areas, he said. MacLaren was at the breakfast meeting to address the topic of how the Ontario legislature works in making laws and he did this, explaining the different kinds of legislation that happen in the legislature. There are government bills put forward by the governing party. These are tabled, the socalled first reading, with no debate taking place. When such bills come up for second reading, that’s when debate takes place, with government and opposition party speakers taking part. During this time, every MPP has an opportunity speak about the proposed legislation. This is when an MPP has the chance to be the voice of his or her constituents in the Ontario legislature in MacLaren’s view. If the proposed legislation passes a vote at the end of the second reading debate, it goes to a standing committee comprised of nine MPPs of various parties sitting on that committee. Amendments to the legislation can be proposed at this standing committee stage. In addition, the standing committee can hear presentations from members of the public. Following this airing at the standing committee, the proposed legislation goes back to the legislature for third reading, either with or without amendments. An affirmative vote in the legislature on this third reading then sends the proposed legislation to the Lieutenant-Governor who gives Royal Assent, making it law.
See MACLAREN, page 24 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, September 14, 2017 23
MacLaren points to six years as MPP for the area as a plus Continued from page 23
At times special standing committees are struck to study and report on specific matters. MacLaren told about his experience as a member of a special standing committee on the developmentally disabled which toured the province hearing from interested persons including parents of autistic children. The committee ended up presenting a unanimous, non-partisan report that the government needs to change its priorities to better fund services and programs for the developmentally disabled in the province. MacLaren said that he found his experience on this standing committee very fulfilling and it did lead to more government funding for the developmentally disabled, although not nearly enough in his view. He points to the waiting list that exists for children with autism to get help, noting that those with a broken leg don’t wait for medical treatment so why should those with autism have to wait for help. MacLaren also told about private member’s bills in the legislature. EvFOR SALE
FOR SALE
ery MPP has the opportunity to present one such private member’s bill each year. He has presented some, none of which has passed. One dealt with repealing the Niagara Escarpment Planning Act which overrides planning by local municipalities. He will be presenting one on October dealing with recognizing military veterans on their driver’s licenses. He figures that it will pass as he cannot see anyone voting against providing this recognition to veterans. MacLaren also told about the daily question period where MPPs can ask questions of the government of the day, holding the government’s feet the fire, as it were. But, as MacLaren pointed out, “It may be question period, it’s not answer period.” He said that the questions usually don’t get answered but they can serve to shine a light on a problem. He also noted that an MPP’s role includes presenting petitions circulated in his or her constituency in the John Curry/Metroland legislature. The MPP could agree or not with the petition but it is up to Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren spents some time with youngsters Joseph Canning (far left), the MPP to present it in the Legisla- Jonathan Canning (second from left) and Isaac Canning (right) at the West Carleton Men’s Ministry breakture. fast at which he was the guest speaker.

Fury players share importance of goal setting with students Onua Obasi, Andrae Campbell talk challenges, perseverance at Earl of March BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Ottawa Fury FC player Onua Obasi didn’t begin play-
ing soccer until he was 11 years old — an advanced age where he grew up in Birmingham, England. “It was quite late in terms
of England,” Obasi told a gymnasium of Grades 7 and 8 students at Earl of March Secondary School on Sept. 7. He was good at dribbling

the ball, but not as skilled at shooting or passing. It wasn’t until he was 20 years old that he realized he was good enough to play at a pro level. “Usually, if you don’t make professional when you’re 16, I’d say 90 per cent never make it,” Obasi said. “The dream’s over.” But he didn’t allow that to deter him. Obasi set his goal to become a pro soccer player, and three years later was signed to his first professional team. Obasi, along with fellow defender Andrae Campbell and Fury events manager Mark Sluban, had a message for junior high students as they began the new school year: never stop setting goals and never give up. See THREE, page 27
Jessica Cunha/Metroland
Ottawa Fury FC player Andrae Campbell speaks to grades 7 and 8 students at Earl of March Secondary School about goal setting on Sept. 7.
Three steps to achieve goals: Ottawa Fury Continued from page 26
Goals are important to set, whether it’s to learn a musical instrument, get a better grade or become a professional athlete, Sluban told the students. Once that objective has been identified, there are three simple steps to take: • Set a goal and have a plan: identify the steps needed to reach your objective. • Attack with confidence: believe in yourself and surround yourself with people who believe in you. • Never give up. “The moment you don’t believe you can do it is the moment you’re not going to achieve your goal,” Sluban said. “Sometimes in life you can get thrown for a curve. Sometimes it doesn’t go the way you want. Do you give up on your goal? No. You set a new goal.” ACHIEVING THE DREAM
Campbell grew up in Jamaica and started playing soccer at a much younger age than Obasi. He was seven when he took up the sport, but it didn’t necessarily mean he had a better chance at turning pro, he told

Jessica Cunha/Metroland
Fury events manager Mark Sluban talks to Earl of March students about the importance of setting goals on Sept. 7. the students. Campbell wasn’t the best player on the team but he continued to practise and train and play, he said. He set a goal — to make a team — and continued taking the steps to reach it — practising, training and playing. He was 17 years old the first time he played pro. “There were people on his
team who were better than him. We see that all the time,” Sluban said. “But it’s the people that set their goals, attack with confidence and never give up, those are the ones that can achieve their goals and dreams.” People will face challenges when working towards a goal, Sluban said. For Obasi, it’s been injuries and tough com-
petition. For Campbell, it was learning the required skills to become better. Sometimes, the challenges will prove too much, said Sluban. “You’re going to set your goals and you’re going to fail. You have to fail. That’s how you get better,” he said. “Sometimes in life you get crushed, but we never give up.”

Ontario government to open new pot shops BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
An industry expert said the Ontario government’s plans to open its own pot shops and provide a website for buying cannabis online is just the start. Ivan Ross Vrana, vicepresident of public affairs for Hill and Knowlton Strategies, said moving forward the details matter. Cannabis is currently still an illegal substance, but when the federal government changes that on July 1, 2018, Ontario hopes to have 40 standalone pot stores open. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario will operate them, but they will not be within or adjacent to existing liquor stores. By 2020, the number of
pot stores will rise to 150. That compares to 660 current liquor stores. Yasir Naqvi, Attorney General and Ottawa Centre MPP, Finance Minister Charles Sousa, and Health Minister Eric Hoskins made the announcement on Sept. 8 in Toronto. Vrana will be keeping an eye on things, like price and access. “The access and where they are located really has to be well thought out. If I have to drive an hour away to access this legally, that’s going to be a bit of a deterrent than if I can get something 10 minutes down the street.” Vrana worked for Health Canada developing the federal government’s position regarding the use, production, distribution and
regulation of cannabis for medical purposes. He also wants to see changes to access for patients seeking medical marijuana, and for further details about edibles and cannabis-infused products. As new products come out and demand shifts, the government will need to react and make changes, he said. “They have to be cognizant that this may not be the solution we end up with. This is all uncharted territory for everybody. I think they are going in the right direction.” At the announcement, Naqvi said the government considered several priorities, including protecting youth, promoting health and harm reduction, road safety and the elimination of the black

The Ontario government announced its plan for to manage federal legalization of cannabis on Sept. 8 in Toronto. The plan includes opening standalone stores that will sell cannabis to people over 19 years of age. Those stores will be operated by the LCBO. market. “This is a once-in-a-generation change in our society,” he said. Residents looking to purchase and possess recreational cannabis will have to be 19 years old and its use will be prohibited in public places and workplaces.
He added that the government is aligning its approach with the treatment of alcohol and tobacco, meaning its use is only allowed in private residences. “It’s the common-sense thing to do,” Naqvi said. For now, using cannabis in businesses and establish-
ments is prohibited, but eventually the model could include licensed establishments. Current privately operated pot shops, popping up around the city, will be shut down, Naqvi said. See ILLEGAL, page 29

The City of Ottawa has initiated the Leitrim Road Realignment and Widening Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to identify the right-of-way requirements for the project, protect the corridor and inform the ongoing planning and development of adjacent lands. The study area is illustrated on the key map.
The EA study is being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s EA Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule C project. The EA process will involve developing, assessing and evaluating alternatives, leading to a Recommended Plan including a functional design and an estimate of capital and operating costs for implementation. There will be ongoing public consultation activities during the course of the study. This first Open House will provide: • An overview of the study progress to date including an overview of existing conditions • Reconfirming the project need and justification • An evaluation of alternative solutions and alternative corridors.
Your participation in the Open House meetings is an important component of the study where you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback. Information about the study is available on the City’s website at ottawa.ca/leitrimroad. The Open House information will also be available on the website. Interested persons can provide comments throughout the EA process. Any comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

taken the best approach. The LCBO model works, it’s proven and we feel strongly it’s the way to go.” Eli El-Chantiry, councillor for West Carleton-March and chair of the police services board, hasn’t been shy about expressing his frustration with current pot shops reappearing even after they have been busted by police.

“They are not legal now and will not be legal retailers under the new model,” he said. “If you operate one of these, consider yourself on notice.” The province will work on an enforcement strategy, working with local police and city hall to shut them down. Municipalities will also have a say in where the new shops are located. Sousa said locations close to illegal shops will be considered, if still in operation, to help force them out of the market. Overall, Sousa said cannabis will remain a heavily controlled substance in Ontario. “It’s better to start with strong controls and evaluate the system over time,” he said. Sousa didn’t have answers about the pricing model, whether the government sup-

He said the clear direction by the province should help. “The announcement is the biggest step we have been waiting for all along because now there’s no excuse for those storefronts and retailers,” he said in an interview. He said having the province regulate and distribute cannabis takes some of the pressure off municipalities. However, he hopes the city will have a strong say in where the new storefronts open.

stay away from schools and parks, and have appropriate and clear signage. In a statement, Mayor Jim Watson said community safety and consideration of residents’ concerns remain paramount as the plan moves forward. “Ottawa will be at the table to provide input on the province’s proposed framework once consultations are underway to ensure we have the ability to act in the best interests of our residents,”
the statement reads. “I was pleased to see that the province took a clear position that distribution will be done through a government-controlled model. This is important in terms of local ability to enforce the elimination of existing illegal dispensaries. The city will work closely with the province to ensure that the standalone dispensaries are appropriately located and outside residential and school zones.”

Q: My husband and I have been married for 15 years. For the past 5 years my husband has been at home taking care of our 7 year old son while I advanced my career. Upon our separation, what obligations might I have in the way of spousal support? Whether or not a person may be obligated to pay spousal support upon separation is a common concern, particularly among those who have one spouse who stays at home to care for the children or those who have a significant income disparity between the two parties. The question as to whether or not you will be obligated to pay is a complicated one that depends on many factors. There are two objectives to spousal support in Ontario: the first is compensation and the second is need. A compensatory claim is often made where one spouse needs to be “compensated” for their role in the marriage. For example, one spouse may feel they should be compensated for sacrificing their career and staying home to raise the children for the furtherance of the other spouse’s career. In a needs based claim, the spouse claiming entitlement to spousal support is seeking relief from
the financial need which a spouse experiences after the breakdown of a relationship. In addition to these objectives, the Divorce Act sets out a number of factors that need to be considered in establishing a claim for spousal support. The answer to whether or not you would be obligated to pay spousal support is not straightforward and hinges on specific details of your relationship, income and roles taken in the marriage. In addition, spousal support can be ordered for varying lengths of time depending on the age of the parties, length of marriage, education level and whether retraining is required to enter the job market among other considerations. A family law lawyer would be able to advise you more precisely on what your obligations may be upon separation from your spouse and provide value in assisting you through the process to ensure you achieve the best outcome possible.

Dream comes true for Main Street Community Services Organization relocates to Beaverbrook BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Do dreams come true? Just ask Main Street Community Services. For much of the 13 years of the existence of this notfor-profit registered charity that provides services and programs for those with special needs, executive director Shelley Steinburg has wanted Main Street Community Services to have a place of its own. Efforts had been made to try to have a standalone facility rather than lease three classrooms on the second floor of the former Stittsville Public School (now Frederick Banting Alternate Program) on Stittsville Main Street. But these efforts had not succeeded — until now. Main Street Community Services is now in the midst of relocating to premises at 1002 Beaverbrook Rd. in Kanata where renovations to its 7,000 square feet of space should be completed by the beginning of October. The new premises will be about three times the size of its previous location. And while this space is in a mall setting and is not a standalone facility, it has a community feel generated right from the mall ownership to other tenants which make it a dream come true for Steinburg and her Main Street Community Services team. “It’s just very much right” and is where we belong, Steinburg says about the new premises, noting that a com-
munity feel pervades the location. The ownership has a similar belief system relating to community service and other tenants include the Lotus Centre for Special Music Education that provides music education for those with developmental disorders, learning disabilities, and gifted profiles; a tutoring business; and even a longtime barber shop, all believers in service to the community. The only real concern that Steinburg has with the location is that Main Street Community Services could have used even more room, but there is a possibility that there could be room to expand in the future. Since deciding last June to relocate to these premises, lots has been happening. Main Street Community Services found the city of Ottawa most co-operative and supportive in facilitating its plans for the space which formerly housed three different businesses. The space had to be completely renovated, with walls erected for the various rooms such as a quiet room, a Snoezelen room which provides a stress-free environment for individuals with disabilities, a computer room, a life skills room, a doctor’s office, and various other rooms including a kitchen and a locker room. There’s also a spacious main area. But challenges still remain because although Main Street Community Services

The only furniture that Main Street Community Services has that will be used in the new premises is a boardroom table and eight chairs. The Snoezelen room, for example, will cost about $10,000 to equip and set up. Other specialty rooms will cost $3,000 to $4,000 each to
equip and set up. The locker room, which Main Street Community Services has never had before, will cost up to $25,000 to set up. The kitchen area will cost, well, whatever a household kitchen costs these days. Main Street Community Services is currently seeking corporate sponsors to help set up these various specialty rooms. In addition, it has a GoFundMe fundraising initiative underway to try to help
with some of these costs. But Steinburg makes no excuses for the costs facing Main Street Community Services in these new premises. She says that she wants to live out her full dream, meaning that she wants the special-needs youth whom Main Street Community Services serves to have the benefit of new and complete equipment that will give them every opportunity to grow and succeed. The new premises are to-
tally wheelchair-accessible, all on one floor. The previous premises at the former Stittsville Public School required climbing up a flight of stairs. The new premises are close to green space and a community centre is close by. Main Street Community Services will be able to hold its summer camp program at these premises because of the proximity of a pool. See MAIN STREET, page 32

But although Main Street Community Services has moved from Stittsville, Shelley says that the area will remain important to the organization, not only because Shelley herself lives in Stittsville and a number of youth benefiting from its services come from the community, but also because Main Street Community Services has four residential group homes in Stittsville. Main Street Community Services now has 10 such residential group homes, with other ones being in Richmond, Carp, and Kanata. The new premises will allow Main Street Community Services not only to grow its services but also to be more efficient because of a better,
more specialized environment not only for the special-needs youth being served but also for the frontline and administrative staff. Main Street Community Services expects to have a grand opening at its new premises some-
programs and services, especially given Main Street Community Services’ willingness to accept special-needs youth that other organizations are reluctant to take. And Main Street Community Services tries to maintain a family atmo-

sphere and environment, something that not only was the case in its previous premises but also will continue in its new location. “Everyone’s a family member here,” Steinburg says, rather than a client or customer. Main Street Communi-
ty Services is a registered charity that provides comprehensive, researchbased programs for individuals who are challenged by a disability or an exceptionality. It also offers a social learning day program, an adult day program, a developmental day program, an after-school program, a summer camp, and a March break camp. The 10 residential homes operated by Main Street Community Services provide both full-time care and respite services. The team at Main Street Community Services is dedicated to broadening horizons, developing talents, promoting self-esteem, and teaching essential life-preparation skills by extending a hand of hope to individuals with disabilities and their families.

New Little Italy tomato fight will get a bit saucy Wine, food and fun planned for Sept. 16 and 17 BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
Grapefest brings out the fruit-smashing fun in Little Italy. From a good old fashioned tomato fight to stomping grapes with your feet, there’s fun for the whole family. “You can expect to get a little dirty, but in a fun way,” said Ellie Dellis, media relations and event co-ordinator for the Grapefest. “It’s a way for us to enjoy what’s happening in Italy with the grape and tomato harvest right now.” The event begins on Sept. 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with the Grapefest Outdoor Festival at the St. Anthony Soccer Club field on Preston Street. “On Saturday, we hope community members will bring out their children for a day of family
fun,” Dellis said. The outdoor festival is a new addition for this year to try to bring more attention to the harvest happening in Italy, but each year, Preston Street retailers and restaurant have held their own special events to celebrate. At the festival, there will be face painting, spaghetti-eating contest, a children’s corner, children’s soccer clinics and special appearances from the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) Bear, the Fury mascot Sparky, Spartacat and
more. Tickets for the tomato fight are $25 for adults 16 plus, and $15 for children ages 10 to 15. The children’s tomato battle is at 11 a.m. and the adults battle it out at 1 p.m. Organizers are expecting more than 100 people to participate. Local shops donate many of the crates of tomatoes required for the big fight, providing a heap of ammo for participants. There will also be barrels of grapes set up for people to get their feet a little dirty.
The fun continues on Sept. 17 from 2 to 5 p.m. with the Grapefest Wine and Food Show at the Sala San Marco Banquet Centre. There, about 30 restaurants and wine sponsors will of-
fer samples. Tickets for that day are $40 all inclusive. Participants must be 19 plus to attend. Tickets are available at www. italiancanadians.ca or by visit-
ing the office at 865 Gladstone Ave. Suite 101. Proceeds from the event will benefit the CHEO Foundation and the Italian Canadian Community Centre.

Riders raise more than $1 million to support hospital research STAFF
More than 700 cyclists supported research at the Ottawa Hospital to the tune of more than $1 million. The single-day fundraiser, the Ride, has now raised more than $12 million for research. The event began on Sept. 10 at Tunney’s Pasture and had two route options, a 50-kilometre route along the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway or a 117-kilometre route through
Kanata North, Carp and Dunrobin. “Thanks to residents of Ottawa, researchers at the Ottawa Hospital are making new discoveries every day and taking those discoveries from the bench to the bedside. It’s those clinical trials which is one of our unique strengths and is making a difference in the lives of patients,” said Tim Kluke, president and CEO of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation in a statement.
RICHMOND CURLING CLUB REGISTRATION
And for the first time, according to a press release, the event introduced a new cycling option — the virtual ride. It provided an opportunity to support research at the hospital by tracking kilometres over the summer. Breast cancer survivor Pam Bechervaise participated in that virtual ride. She was diagnosed in 2014 and has watched the advancements in treatment ever since. “I know that if I do need it again, that (with the research being done) hopefully next time around there will be a cure,” she said in the press release. Funds raised through the Ride support the Ottawa Hospital to advance research in cancer, neuromuscular diseases, heart disease, stroke and more.
Adam Pearson points to the sky as he makes his way over the finish line after cycling 117 kilometres for The Ride on Sept. 10. The event saw riders opt in for either the 50 kilometre race or the 117 kilometre race to raise money for the Ottawa Hospital.

Councillor wants ombudsperson for bad builders BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
SIGN UP AND SAVE 7 ¢/ L UNTIL APRIL 30, 2018
A city councillor is asking for builder horror stories to bolster his efforts to create a mechanism to punish bad builders. In blog post on Sept. 9, Coun. Jeff Leiper said enough is enough when it comes to the construction abuses neighbours are feeling due to infill developments. He proposed creating an infill ombudsperson to deal with complaints. What Leiper is proposing is an alternative to the court system, and a body that can sanction bad builders and recognize good ones. “Giving (builders) glossy brochures to describe what they should be doing to foster good relationships with neighbours is not in my
opinion going to be effective.” Leiper is asking the Greater Ottawa Home Builders Association, other stakeholders, the city and the Federation of Citizens’ Associations of OttawaCarleton to sit down and discuss an ombudsperson to deal with issues. He suggests the position should be industry-funded and should have sanctioning powers as a means of dispute resolution. Builders that agree with and abide by the decisions could be identified with a trust seal. “If we had an ombudsman, I don’t think that person would be overwhelmed with work. We are looking at a few bad builders that need to be brought into line,” Leiper said in an interview. His blog post garnered

several comments from the community about damaged roads and driveways, garbage, damaged trees and a bunch of broken promises. On the post, one resident who lives on Carleton Avenue in Champlain Park, wrote about a “lengthy and stressful legal process to reach what amounted to a very minor settlement” after a developer damaged a 150-year-old tree and removed a common retaining wall without warning. Her driveway was also damaged and used without her permission. The developer promised to pay for any repairs, but when it came time to collect, they refused, she said. “We felt it was important to stand up to him, even in a small way, to say: no, you can’t get away with behaving like this,” she wrote. But it was a text, calling a resident an “idiot” after asking that a security fence be moved that broke the camel’s back, Leiper said in an interview. “I can’t sit by and watch this continue,” he said.

Leiper’s office gets a number of calls each week about construction starting before being permitted, illegal parking, tree damage, trespassing contractors and more. Councillors don’t have the tools to address these concerns. “So many of the powers that are required to address them lie in the hands that are outside the councillor’s purview or outside council’s purview. I’m often left powerless and residents are left powerless to address the issues.” Greater Ottawa Home Builder’s Association’s executive director John Herbert said in an emailed statement that the association is investigating some of the reported issues, although they were unaware of the specific concerns in Kitchissippi Ward before reading Leiper’s post. “Membership in the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association is not compulsory for builders in Ottawa, and indeed it is those builders with a vested interest in sound construction practices and good community

Jeff Leiper said enough is enough when it comes to the construction abuses neighbours are feeling from infill developments and proposed creating an infill ombudsperson to deal with complaints. relations that join and are active within the association,” he wrote. “We remain a committed partner with the City of Ottawa to ensure infill construction by our members continues to occur with minimal impact on local communities. We are always willing to meet with Coun. Leiper and members of the community to address such concerns.” Mayor Jim Watson met with Leiper and other community members on Sept. 11. In a state-
ment, Watson said he shares concerns about many of the issues raised in the blog and will work with Leiper to find solutions. Leiper is not just looking for the horror stories; he’d also like to hear about positive experiences from residents. “At this point I am hopeful, but it’s only once we sit around a table and talk about what some long-term solutions might be that I’ll get a better idea of if this will be successful or not.”

The National Capital Commission has hired a new ombudsman. Kevin Saville, president of KSAR and Associates Inc., a management consulting firm, took over the post on Aug. 1. “On behalf of the NCC Board of Directors, I wish to congratulate Kevin Saville and wish him success in his mandate as the new NCC ombudsman,” said Marc Seaman, chair of the board in a statement. “The appointment of Mr. Saville is part of the NCC’s continued commitment to fostering an open and transparent relationship with Canadians and excellence in serving the public.” Saville has also worked as a senior civil servant with the federal and Quebec governments
and was the vice-president and general manager of the Montréal Board of Trade. On the NCC’s ombudsman website, Saville said: “As the NCC ombudsman, I look forward to working with the public and NCC officials in a common effort to continuously improve NCC services and strengthen the organization’s relationships with citizens, partners, and suppliers.” According to a press release, the ombudsman provides members of the public with an independent and confidential way of resolving complaints after other avenues are exhausted. Saville is the third person to hold the position. It was created back in 2008. The previous ombudsman, Ellen Fry, finished her term on Aug. 31. In the 2016 annual report, Fry

ather was happy. It had been a good season, unlike most other years, and he was sure he was going to get a second cutting of hay. That meant the mow would be full, and he could be sure of lots of hay to see us through the winter. But it also meant he would be working alone, as my three brothers would all be back to school. Of course, there were still Saturdays, but during the week, Father would be out cutting hay, raking and stooking on his own, leaving the house long before any of us were awake. But the brothers were expected to do all the morning chores before they went off to school, that is, except for the milking, which was a chore my sister Audrey and my mother had to take over.

the busy start to the day. School lunches had to be made the night before, but as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning, I was expected to get breakfast on the table. Of course, it would have been set out before I went to bed. Father would be long gone, so I didn’t have to worry about frying a pan of potatoes and salt pork. But I did have to make the porridge, and make sure the bread was sliced and ready to be put on the toaster rack that would sit on top of the stove where I would have removed one of the lids, allowing the bread to brown over the hot coals.

Father was washed up, but still showed signs of his long day in the hay field, with bits and pieces stuck in his hair. Not a word was said about the burnt toast, but when Mother’s back was turned, Emerson pretended he could smell it, turning his nose in the air, and sniffing, and then making the worst face, crossed his eyes, put a hand around his neck, and let his tongue hand out, as if he was going to choke to death. Mother, who we all said had eyes in the back of her head, walked to his chair, and cuffed him on the ear, a smack that could be heard in Douglas.

Mother cracked an egg, dipped her burnt toast in the yolk, and spread jam on the other piece and ate up like eating burnt toast was an every day occurrence. The smell of burnt toast hung in the kitchen as we gathered our book bags and headed out the door for school. Mother’s parting words were for Emerson. “Not one word about the burnt toast or you just might be having some for your supper tonight.” Audrey looked at Emerson with slit eyes, a warning that he better take heed, as she would be reporting back to Mother. When we got home from school, everything was in order. The smell of burnt toast was replaced with the aromas coming from the oven. Supper was ready,

Punishment of Ottawa ‘hate monger’ offers hope for rehabilitation ERIN MCCRACKEN
Positive Change for Kanata South
City Councillor Kanata South

Rabbi Reuven Bulka peers at traces of red paint left behind almost a year after hate-filled graffiti was sprayed on an exterior wall of his Alta Vista synagogue. “My inclination is to keep this even though since when does concrete come in red?” he said. “It’s good to have it here. I don’t need this to remind me … but it basically tells you that there’s work still to be done.” Continued community-building initiatives are essential to promote kindness, respect and giving back, which are key to counteracting hate, said Bulka, rabbi emeritus of the Congregation Machzikei Hadas, one of three Jewish institutions targeted in a vandalism spree last November. That is the hope for an Ottawa teen who was recently sentenced for a string of hate crimes in which he spray-painted swastikas, racial slurs and other messages of hate on Jewish synagogues and prayer houses in the Glebe, Carlington, and Alta Vista last November. Within days, the Parkdale United Church and the Ottawa Mosque, near Tunney’s Pasture, were targeted, as was the Soloway Jewish Community Centre in west Ottawa. “It was a horror,” Bulka recalled of the vandalism that shocked some of the 1,000 people

Under the ‘Have Your Say’ area, residents can find information on how to get involved and provide feedback on the budget. Budget Planning tool- Available for the second year, this interactive software tool provides residents with the opportunity to play the role of a politician or administrator by determining how they would prioritize budget funding for each category. To show the impact of their decisions, it will also show how their choices would affect the budget rate and their individual property taxes. The budget simulator tool will remain live until the budget is tabled on November 8th.

Rabbi Reuven Bulka, rabbi emeritus of the Congregation Machzikei Hadas in Alta Vista, looks at traces of red paint that was sprayed on the wall of the synagogue last November. While most of the paint was washed off, the remnants serve as a reminder that residents and leaders must be vigilant in community-building efforts, he says. to capitalize on the positive momentum that was sparked, continue working on communitybuilding efforts and see political, religious and business leaders help keep the issues top of mind.

be vigilant,” Bulka said. Still, counteracting hate is a work in progress. “With all the best intentions, this is a continual struggle,” he said. “It’s lots of lifetimes.” Rev. Anthony Bailey, who was personally targeted by the teen through the graffiti painted on the Parkdale United Church doors, couldn’t agree more. See PARKDALE, page 46

“It’s not going to die down for us,” he said. “Even though this case will be out of the limelight, we continue to put that message (of love over hate) out in the various areas of influence which we find ourselves.” The accused, who was 17 at the time he committed the crimes, pleaded guilty in February. He was initially charged with multiple counts of uttering death threats, causing mischief to religious buildings, breaching probation for a previous conviction and possessing dangerous weapons. The teen, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was recently sentenced in an Ottawa court to one year in custody, but will serve three more months after receiving credit for time served. At that point, he will be on probation for another two years. His punishment also includes writing three 500-word essays about members of the Jewish, Black and Muslim communities

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Intense desires are simmering just beneath the surface, Leo. But you’re not sure how to express your feelings just yet. Usually you are direct, but this may require finesse.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may have little desire to go above and beyond what is necessary this week. You may want to spend much of your time sticking to familiar routines.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Hanging out with friends seems like a great idea, especially when all of your tasks at work and at home have been completed, Virgo. Don’t let anything hold you back.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you can probably use a good dose of peace and quiet right now, but there are too many things on your calendar for this to be possible anytime soon.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, spend some time relaxing at home in the coming days. The rest and relaxation will do your body good. Rise to action when you are called upon.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, enjoy a boost in ambition, stamina and overall energy in the coming days. This will help you initiate and complete projects with amazing precision.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Pay careful attention to all details, Scorpio. They are trying to tell you something about your future. You just do not know where the road will bend.
