repairs will not be needed, said Hubley.

“When (city workers) go in to do the repair, they will have a lot closer look at just what is going wrong here and once we know for certain who (is responsible for the deterioration), if it was a workmanship or materials defect, then certainly I will be pushing the city to go after the contractor,” he said.

“In all our projects, it’s important that we get good value for our tax dollars, but in this particular case, I would have thought the workmanship would have been over and above what was called for because it was meant to honour the veterans,” said Hubley.

“It makes me doubly disappointed that we have issues on this bridge,” he said.

Nonetheless, Hubley said he was happy that the city was able to “step up” and begin repairs quickly.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she too is pleased the city will be going ahead with repairs, “so that (the bridge) will again be a fitting remembrance of the role our armed forces have played in keeping Canada a safe place for all.”

The bridge is of special concern when it comes to maintenance, said Hubley, as it was created into a monument to honour veterans and fallen Canadian soldiers in battles and campaigns from 1899 to 1989 with 16 plaques.

Finished in December 2006, the bridge had become an embarrassment recently, said Hubley, with rust marking large swaths of the guard rails along both sides of the bridge, which connects Castlefrank Road with Kanata Avenue.

There had been concern over when the repairs might take place as there remains a dispute between the province and Ottawa over who is responsible for the bridge.

Normally a bridge that spans a highway like Highway 417 can be constructed by a municipality, but responsibility for the bridge then goes to the province.

“Something went wrong in that hand-over,” said Hubley, and repairs to the bridge might have been sidelined.

Dominion Command, the Royal Canadian Legion’s main office located at the south end of the bridge, sent a letter to the

province on Aug. 20 expressing that concern.

However, the city committed to perform repairs before the issue was resolved and then look to recover costs at a later date, said Hubley.

With the news that repairs to the bridge’s rails will be finished before Remembrance Day, Bill Maxwell, senior program officer at Dominion Command, said, “We are delighted that work is going to proceed and that everything will be in place before Nov. the 11th . “… The spirit was there to ensure that the work was done and the appearance would be brought back to where it should be,” he said.

While responsibility for the bridge remains to be determined, so does the cause of the bridge’s rust, said Hubley.

“Based on what (city workers) are telling me, they believe that (the rust) is all there is,” he said. “The hidden problem that you don’t know until you get in there is if they start wire brushing that and the metal falls apart, then the whole rails will have to be changed.”

There are no visible holes in the bridge’s rails currently, but that doesn’t mean further

Bridget’s Brigade musters troops for fight against cancer Running group forms in support of seven-year-old after her cancer returns Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - When the run never seems to end and their legs begin to buckle, Bridget’s Brigade has a simple way to keep going.

They think of Bridget Zavitske: her long journey through cancer treatment, and how she’s still fighting.

“Who am I to stop running, when this poor little girl and so many others like her are fighting the fight of their lives?” said Tracy Facchin, a founding member of Bridget’s Brigade.

The group of 10 runners from Carleton Place, Carp, Kanata and elsewhere in the city took part in the Sears Great Canadian Run for the second year, having first been inspired in 2013 by Bridget Zavitske, a six-year-old who many of them knew.

Bridget was diagnosed with Wilms’ tumour, a rare children’s cancer that affects

the kidneys, in June of 2013, said Bridget’s mom, Christy Zavitske.

“She had surgery to remove the tumour in her kidney, and then she started remission and chemotherapy,” said Zavitske. The cancer had spread to Bridget’s lungs and lymph nodes, but treatment of Wilms’ tumour has improved drastically over the years, with survival rates in the 80 and 90 per cent range.

In honour of Bridget’s battle with cancer, Facchin and her sister-in-law, Jennifer, organized Bridget’s Brigade, with the goal of raising thousands of dollars for childhood cancer research and running in the Sears marathon from Ottawa to Montebello, Que. “It was just such an amazing distance,” said Facchin, who isn’t a runner. “It seemed almost impossible.”

But the group was able to finish the race, with each member running the farthest distance they were capable of. Facchin said she managed seven kilometres that year, while another member of the team who was training for a marathon ran 30 kilometres, and another ran almost 10 kilometres carrying a 23-kilogram weight to represent the two children he knew going

through a battle with cancer.

“Whenever I felt tired and worn out, I just thought of Bridget,” said Facchin.

“Bridget can’t stop fighting.

Every day, she has to wake up and face this battle.”

Many teams ran the race in honour of a child with cancer, she said, and some of those children were able to meet their team at the finish line.

Bridget could not as she was still too sick, said Facchin.

But, by December of 2013, Bridget had finished her treatment, and was given a clean bill of health after having a clear MRI on January 20 of this year, said Zavitske.

“We honestly thought we were done with cancer treatments,” she said.

Six weeks later, Bridget suddenly could not see, and upon returning to CHEO, her doctors found a six-centimetre tumour had grown on her urethra.

“It was a bit of a shock,” said Zavitske. “It grew so quickly.”

Bridget’s case is very rare, she said, considering the speed of growth and placement of the tumour. “Wilm’s is very easy to treat, normally, with good results and a 95 per cent cure rate, so she just happened to be (in the) five per cent,” said Zavitske.

It is good news that CSC has not yet closed any acute care beds for mentally ill offenders.

Re: “Barring treatment for the mentally ill,” Kourier-Standard, Oct. 2.

The Correctional Service of Canada wishes to clarify facts reported in the article.

Contrary to what the article reports, no mental health beds have been decommissioned.

CSC is not closing any beds.

CSC is reviewing the organization and delivery of its mental health services for inmates to ensure the most effective and efficient delivery of quality essential mental health care services for this population.

There are three levels of mental health care: hospital care, intermediate care and primary care.

Hospital care is provided for inmates with acute mental health concerns requiring inpatient psychiatric care with 24-hour nursing care, typically in a hospital bed.

Intermediate care is provided to inmates presenting with mental health conditions that cannot be adequately addressed through primary care in an institution, but who do not require hospital care.

Primary care is provided to inmates with mental health needs that can be accommodated by services in an institution.

All three levels of care are provided by interdisciplinary teams, including mental health professionals such as psychiatrists, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and occupational therapists.

It is possible that this realignment could include a re-allocation of funding previously designated for hospital care to provide support and capacity for intermediate level care within

Lifetime Achievement Award

To the editor,

the treatment centres and in mainstream institutions. Matching the service level to patient needs ensures the most efficient use of health resources.

The net result will be that services will be better aligned to the health needs of the inmate population, and will allow inmates to transition down to the most appropriate level of care when they need it.

CSC is legislatively mandated to provide inmates with essential health care and reasonable access to non-essential mental health care that will contribute to the inmate’s rehabilitation and successful reintegration into the community.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide some clarification on CSC’s treatment of offenders with mental health care needs.

Time for straight trash talk

A

s the municipal election campaign has worn on, the more green bins have become one of the most debated issues across the city.

A number of candidates, both for council and mayor, have tapped into widespread resentment of the green bin program, which is seen by critics as a costly inconvenience. Many complain the reduction in garbage pickup from once a week to once every other week has led to reeking piles of maggotinfested refuse in garages and back alleys. On top of this, the city auditor revealed earlier this year that the contract with Orgaworld, the company hired to process the organic waste collected in green bins, has resulted in the city paying a great deal more than it should for the program.

Yet the candidates pledging to scrap the green bin program and bring back weekly garbage pickup have some more explaining to do. They need to tell voters how they plan to break the contract with Orgaworld without costing the city millions, as was the case when Ottawa paid out nearly $37 million

after cancelling the original light rail plan. Piling waste on top of more waste is no solution.

Those candidates will also need to explain how we can continue sending garbage to the dump when plans to expand the city’s landfill sites are met with stiff opposition from neighbouring residents. Is the idea to force misery on select rural residents in order to spare urban residents from the stench?

Those candidates pledging to ditch the green bin program need to be frank with voters. There will be more costs involved with the cancellation. It will not be a free, easy fix.

The green bin program was never meant to entirely halt landfill expansion, only to slow the pace of expansion, thereby saving money for the city.

That city staffers failed to ensure the city got a good deal with Orgaworld doesn’t mean organics collection is a bad idea – many other cities in Ontario have similar plans.

Voters are of course free to make their own choices. They should only do so knowing the true cost of that decision.

rances Itani has been shortlisted for the Giller Prize and Christopher Levenson has been shortlisted for the Governor General’s Literary Award, two Ottawa writers joining a long list of local authors who have been honoured in the last couple of decades.

(To be absolutely precise, Levenson moved to Victoria a few years ago, but only after a long spell teaching at Carleton University and being at the core of the local poetry scene, so we still count him as ours.)

Itani’s new novel, Tell, is set in Deseronto and picks up where her powerful First World War novel Deafening leaves off. Deafening, published in 2003, was shortlisted for the International IMPAC Dublin Award. Levenson was honoured for

Night Moves, his eleventh published poetry collection.

It is easy to forget, given the amount of international culture to which we are exposed through the National Arts Centre and our many festivals, how much home-grown talent there is in this city.

Talent is too light a word for it.

The gift that people like Itani and Levenson possess owes a lot to dedication, hard work and inspiration.

of it around. In 2007, two Ottawa writers, Elizabeth Hay and Daniel Poliquin, were on the shortlist for the Giller, the most coveted of the country’s literary awards. Hay won it, for her novel Late Nights on Air. She was shortlisted for a Governor General’s Literary Award in 1997 for Small Change and in 2003 for Garbo Laughs. And Poliquin is up for a Governor General’s Literary Award this year for translation.

Emphasis on literary awards can be misleading. There are thousands of excellent Canadian books that are not nominated for any of the big prizes, and there are dozens of fine writers in Ottawa and area that have somehow avoided the award spotlight.

is on offer in this city.

If you check back over previous shortlists for the major Canadian literary awards, you find other fiction writers such as Mark Frutkin, shortlisted for the Governor General’s Award, and Dorothy Speak, anthologized in the Journey Prize Anthology. On the GG shortlist there are children’s authors such as Brian Doyle, Tim Wynne-Jones, Jan Andrews and Carolyn Pignat. There are the non-fiction writers Denise Chong, and Charlotte Gray.

It goes without saying that many worthy writers have been left off this hastily composed list. The list does not include the many journalists and academics in the city who have written significant books. But the main point is that Ottawa, often stereotyped as a place without an identity, without a culture, has lots of both.

There are people who have chosen to live here, chosen to write here,

often using our past as subject matter, sometimes using our present, sometimes romanticizing what they see, sometimes satirizing it. At this time of year, it is worth remembering there is more to this place than transit plans and green bins.

Canada’s hidden shame

I

nternational numbers that continue to place Canada among the top of its peer countries when it comes to education mask a deep and shameful secret: More than half of the Canadian workforce lack the basic literacy and numeracy skills required to function in their jobs.

Despite these abysmal statistics, the federal government has stuck by its decision to stop funding workplace skills training organizations.

Last spring, it cut off funding to a number of national and provincial programs and entities designed to improve essential workplace skills, like language, math and problem-solving.

The government placed the final nail in the coffin a few months ago, denying core funding to the Canadian Literacy and Learning Network,

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse despite the non-profit’s position as the go-to organization for resources on literacy and skills training for 40 years.

Earlier this month, the network was forced to close its doors for good.

The demise of the network was somewhat hidden in the back pages of daily newspapers. With ebola, ISIS and elections, perhaps literacy doesn’t seem a sexy enough sell for the front pages.

But make no mistake, this should be front page news.

We have a Canadian workforce that is mostly illiterate,

innumerate and getting worse.

According to a 2012 study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation (OECD), Canada has dropped below the OECD average for both literacy and numeracy competencies. Nearly half (49 per cent) of Canadians lack the literacy skills needed to work, while 60 per cent of Canadians do not have the numeracy skills required to do their jobs.

Even more startling, a quarter of Canadians scored at the lowest possible level of numeracy rankings, mark-

ing a decline from a decade earlier.

A December, 2013 report

by TD Economics emphasized the worrying trend that Canadian competencies have deteriorated rather than improved over time, also noting that settled immigrants fare no better than new immigrants on international tests and that many aboriginal Canadians have basically fallen through the cracks when it comes to essential skills.

It’s not enough to boost math and reading scores in public schools, because, as a Conference Board of Canada report notes, achieving essential skills required for the workplace is not a static exercise.

“Literacy and numeracy

R0452496643

our country needs to invest in Canadian workers. Newcomers to Canada should be offered language training and bridging programs for free.

There needs to be greater resources for Aboriginal Canadians.

The government owes it to all of us to create and continuously fund essential workplace skills training in both the private and public sectors.

It’s time to unmask the deep and shameful secret of our illiterate and innumerate Canadian workforce.

Let’s show that this taboo subject is sexy enough to put it on the front pages so we can force the government to invest our tax dollars where they belong – in us.

Why all the fuss?

To the editor,

Why all the fuss about green bins?

Because of the smell?

If you are using the bins properly, all waste products which create the odours: food waste, meat and fat scraps, pet excrement, dairy products, fish waste, can all go into your green bin.

Paper bags or newspaper can be used when necessary.

Because of fly maggots (fly larvae)? These are the result of flies laying their eggs in the green bin – usually on meat, fish or dairy scraps. “That was way to easy!�

In hot weather they only take approximately 24 hours to hatch, so weekly garbage pick-up will not eliminate the problem.

I place a plastic garbage bag over the green bin before closing the lid and before flies get in. Result: no maggots.

If the blue box and black box are being used for all recyclables there is absolutely no need for weekly “garbage� pick-up winter or summer.

Why are so many would-be councillors not getting behind an already good program to reduce costs and future garbage land fill problems?

[Inter]National Feral Cat Day - October 16, 2014

Bridlewood association’s AGM to be held on Oct. 21 Bridlewood Community Association

Their ears were frostbitten, but they were lucky to have survived.

It’s a hard life for feral cats. Domesticated cats, if abandoned and living long enough outdoors, can become feral. Feral cats are homeless, “wild�, untamed cats, often born outside and having had little or no contact with humans. Ferals often live in groups called colonies.

It is estimated there are millions of feral cats in North America. Some are lucky to have volunteer caretakers feed and care for them, at great expense to themselves – maybe someone in your neighbourhood. For some ferals, food is scarce. They get sick, frostbitten, attacked and injured or killed – and no one knows or cares.

Fortunately, a Trap-Neuter-Return program reduces the feral population humanely and gradually; but the whole colony needs to be vaccinated too, and then managed under the care of a dedicated cat colony caretaker. Kittens and not-so-wild cats can sometimes be adopted into homes. Wilder but healthy cats are returned to their colonies.

Spaying/neutering and veterinary care of feral and semi-wild cats is expensive.

Your donation will help care for these cats.

A doll means something different to everyone: collector Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – Valerie Hennigar and Anne Taller both pause then chuckle when asked how many dolls they each have in their collections.

Hennigar, a Barrhaven resident, has collected between 300 and 400 over the past 40 years. Taller, a Kanata resident who has been collecting mostly antique dolls for about 35 years, has about 300.

“Quantity doesn’t matter, quality matters,” said Taller. “The thing that matters most is what appeals to you. If you buy what appeals to you, you’ll never make a mistake.”

While the advent of ecommerce in the 1990s has connected more sellers and

doll collectors and enthusiasts, buyers still relish opportunities to view and compare dolls before they make a purchase.

That is one of the reasons Taller and Hennigar are organizing their fourth Ottawa Doll Show and Sale at the Ernst & Young Centre on Oct. 25, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., which will feature about 40 vendors and their wares.

“The wonderful thing about a doll show is you get to examine the item, the doll.

You get to have a conversation with a vendor,” said Taller.

“On the Internet, I have so often seen that somebody says this is a Mary Todd Lincoln china doll with an original body or original clothes or whatever. I can tell from

the picture that’s not so.”

Sellers can be misinformed about the dolls in their possession.

And given the expense of some dolls, particularly antiques or those in mint condition and in their original garments, collectors want to be sure of what they are buying.

“It can be expensive. It can also be done for very little,” Taller said.

“I have heard stories of people going to an auction and sitting beside somebody who said, ‘I brought $140,000 and there’s nothing to spend it on,’’ she said.

“And yet I have bought dolls for 25 cents.”

Among doll collectors it is poor etiquette to ask the price a buyer paid.

“It’s not about the cost of

the item. It’s about the provenance and where it came from and who owned it, perhaps, or where it was made.

Is it rare?” Hennigar said.

Among the vendors at the upcoming show will be an Almonte-based doll conservator, Lynn Chambers, who specializes in repairing and restoring antique dolls.

Taller has relied on her expertise for years.

“I consider myself a custodian of these wonderful objects for the next generation,” said Taller.

Some of the dolls in her collection date back to the late 1700s.

While Taller and Hennigar primarily collect antique dolls, their upcoming show will bring in vendors who will showcase antique to modern dolls made of paper,

porcelain and cloth as well as ball-jointed dolls, and those known as reborn dolls that are made to look lifelike – just like real infants.

There will also be toys, teddy bears and miniatures.

Trains will be a new feature at the event.

Among those who attend the show and sale will be collectors, doll enthusiasts and those who buy for their children.

“And that’s why we think it’s important at the show to have a really wide variety because your individual tastes, I couldn’t predict what they would be,” said Taller, adding that more than 400 people attended the show and sale held in April.

“It’s interesting, you know.

A doll means something different to every individual

person,” she said. “So there are those who want dolls from their childhood. There are those who are interested in antiques.

“There are those who want dolls who can be played with.”

For collectors such as Hennigar and Taller, part of the magic in collecting comes from piecing together the doll’s history, and learning about a different era.

“Each doll is a little window into its time,” Taller said. “It’s a little microcosm.

It tells you the attitude about childhood.”

The Ottawa Doll Show and Sale takes place at the Ernst & Young Centre, located at 4899 Uplands Dr. Admission to the event is a minimum $2 donation in support of the Ottawa Food Bank.

News - Ottawa police discovered $1.2 million worth of marijuana plants hidden in two farmers’ fields near Kanata during a yearly aerial search of the city this fall.

A total of 1,200 marijuana plants were seized after the police’s air support unit spotted the plants growing within two farmers’ crops. The smaller crop of marijuana, about 300 plants, was located west of Bells Corners, with the second found in the rural south-west area of the city, said acting Staff Sgt. Ian McDonell with the Ottawa police drug unit.

“We don’t like to give out

the (exact) location because next year, kids in the area will start heading out and wandering through the woods hoping to find a load of marijuana,” he said.

Similarly, McDonell said he could not say exactly when police discovered and removed the plants, as that would indicate to marijuana grow operators when to remove their crops.

“We don’t like to tip our hand,” said McDonell. “It was just in the early part of the fall.”

There are no suspects related to the discovery so far, according to a police news release. “(With regards to) both land owners, we have nothing whatsoever to indicate that they were aware of anything going on,” said McDonell.

The discovery was made during the police’s annual fall eradication search which has police officers fly over Ottawa in search of potential outdoor marijuana crops.

“Normally what happens

is (marijuana grow operators) will go into farmers’ fields and they will go once the corn crop starts getting a little bit high, say June,” said McDonell.

“They will want to go sort of in the middle of the field and they will clear an area of corn and plant the marijuana plants,” he said.

“Farmers, they plant their corn in the spring and they come back and get it in the fall, so it’s not like people are going through those fields, so the marijuana grows up, the corn grows up around it, and (marijuana growers) come in and sneak it out before the farmers cut out their corn harvest,” said McDonell.

For more than a decade Ottawa police have been using tips from the NCC and other organizations along with aerial searches to locate potential marijuana crops.

This year’s two-day marijuana eradication project netted fewer plants than in past years, but that is actually a good sign, said McDonell.

“I think that’s partly due to

Police discovered two crops of marijuana growing in farmers’ crops in rural areas near Kanata in an annual search this fall. the efforts of the past years,” he said. “These guys don’t like losing (product) worth $1.2 million. That’s a lot of money to show up one morning and it’s gone. So that kind of makes them reconsider their strategy. They move out to different areas.

“We are not going to get everything. We are fully aware of that, but we are pretty confident that we have taken out the bigger crops that we can come across.”

McDonell said he is very satisfied with the results of this year’s operation, saying funds from the marijuana plants otherwise would likely have gone into organized crime.

“I can say from experience, they are not just going out and buying a big screen TV (with their profits),” he said.

“We don’t have anything specific to this investigation, but just in general terms, they are using this money to buy cocaine, they are using this

money to buy crack, they are using it to buy guns, prostitution, human trafficking, you name it - any kind of criminal enterprise, that’s what this goes into. So when we can say that we took $1.2 million of financing that goes behind so many other criminal enterprises, we are very satisfied.”

The ultimate goal of the fall eradication program is to push marijuana grow operations hours away from the city, said McDonell.

Woman charged with sexual assault for relationship with student Staff

News - A 44-year-old Ottawa woman was scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 7 on charges of sexual assault and sexual exploitation.

The woman was an educational assistant with the Ottawa Carleton Dis-

trict School Board. Police allege she had a sexual relationship with a student who was 15 years old.

An investigation revealed the relationship began in September 2011.

The school board has confirmed that the suspect is in their employ and has placed her on leave pending the resolu-

tion of the charges.

“The OCDSB is cooperating fully with the OPS to assist in their investigation,” the statement reads. “The accused has been placed on leave while the investigation is underway. Our primary focus is the safety and well-being of our students and staff and the dis-

Good development matters to Marianne. It was one of the reasons why she returned to politics in 2006. At that time many new homes were being built without adequate transportation, recreation and cultural facilities. Marianne got Terry Fox Dr. built 10 years before the projected timeline, and worked with staff and the community to plan the Richcraft Recreation Complex and the new expanded Beaverbrook Library. The community has benefited from road upgrades, sidewalks, 8 new parks, 9 new school crossing guards, and more jobs through her support to business. She’ll continue to hold her community picnic and sponsor community activities.

Pizza-lover with autism connects with local pizzeria Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - A love of pizza and a few people willing to lend a hand was all it took for 24-year-old Christopher Gibbons to make some much-needed friends in his community.

Gibbons, from the south Kanata area, has autism, which means that, though he

has many interests like bowling, working out at the gym, going on nature walks and eating pizza, he needs someone with him to do them.

For much of his life, those people have been his parents and sister, said Maria Redpath, a community engagement co-ordinator with Citizen Advocacy of Ottawa.

But, now that his sister is at university most of the time,

Christopher is looking for someone else around his age to hang out with.

Citizen Advocacy has been trying to find an volunteer/advocate for him for more than three years, which is about the average for the organization’s Everyday Champion’s Program, said Redpath.

• Rural Voice – With the loss of the Rural Issues Advisory Committee and the Agricultural and Rural Affairs Committee reduced to rubber stamping zoning changes, we have lost our rural voice at the City of Ottawa. I want the Advisory Committee reinstated and the structure of ARAC changed so that people can truly participate and be consulted on important matters of the rural areas.

• Seniors & Disabled People – I will work for a Para-Transpo system whereby people who need it can use it for the same fare as the urban resident. I will eliminate the restriction of rural-to-rural trips. That way someone in March can go see the doctor in Carp. I will stand up for our vulnerable people.

• Taxes – Using the City of Ottawa’s own numbers for the break-out for payment of services – with the exception of Transit and Fire, we pay more per $1000 in Property Taxes than our urban counterparts in every category.

See my website for this document. • Development – Development is coming to March; but it needs to be managed and the wishes of the residents need to be listened to and respected at City Hall. I will work with the March Rural Community Association so that together we can proactively work towards the desires of the residents of March.

“Pretty much all the people that we have on our waiting list, they are all people with disabilities,” she said. “They need

somebody to get them out and about into the community, because they get a bit lonely and isolated.”

Samantha Rae-Ayoub, wife of Gabriel Pizza Stonehaven

owner Zeyad Ayoub found an advertisement Redpath had put online for Gibbons, and upon discovering Gibbons’ love of pizza, she and her husband decided they could help.

“(Christopher) loves pizza and pizza is what we do best, so we thought, hey this is a great fit,” said Rae-Ayoub.

Samantha and Zeyad invited Gibbons and his parents to the restaurant so he could make his own pizza and meet the staff on Oct. 6.

“It was a great experience,” said Gibbons’ father, Michael Gibbons. “They just went out of their way to accommodate Christopher … we were nervous, but they made us feel right at home.”

Now, the plan is for Gibbons to return to Gabriel Pizza on Stonehaven Drive once a month. “I think it’s great for him,” said Michael. “It’s something that he is interested in and he was relaxed and in his comfort zone.”

The hope is that Gibbons will soon be paired with a volunteer who can become his friend and take him to the restaurant and share in other experiences as well.

“I think it would be great for his self-confidence (to have an advocate),” said Michael. “That

would be terrific.”

No previous experience with people with disabilities is required, said Redpath. For Gibbons, Redpath is hoping to find a young man around Gibbons’ age in the Kanata area who shares some of his interests.

About once a week, Gibbons and his advocate would go hang out or do something they both enjoy for an hour or two.

“It’s pretty simple,” said Redpath.

Anyone looking to become an advocate has to go through a screening process, have a vulnerable sector check done with the police, and commit to being an advocate for a year.

After that, the only trick is to match the volunteer up with some people the organization thinks would be compatible with their personality.

“We will talk through what those (two or three) peoples’ disabilities are, what the pros and cons are, and ultimately you then get the choice,” said Redpath.

The impact of having a friend to go out with can be profound,

she said. “Although (Chris) has a circle of (caretakers) at home, these people are paid to provide support. An advocate is someone who will choose to be in his life.”

Generally, having an advocate can increase a person’s self-esteem, get them more involved in their community and make them less isolated.

For one match, all it took was for the advocate to teach his new friend, John, how to ride the bus.

Now, John, who has physical and mental developmental disabilities, has his own part-time job, his own place to live and is a board member for Citizen Advocacy of Ottawa, said Redpath.

It took John about 10 years to find an advocate, but now, John has been matched with his advocate for five or six years.

Anyone interested in volunteering to be Gibbons’ advocate, or to be matched with someone else through Citizen Advocacy Ottawa, contact Redpath at 613761-9522 ext. 222, or email mredpath@citizenadvocacy. org.

Travel tips Lifestyle - With many Ontarians thinking about travel this time of year, the Ontario Ministry of Consumer Ser-

vices (MCS) recommends always booking a vacation with a travel agency registered with the Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO).

That way, you can have the peace of mind that comes from dealing with an agent

who adheres to TICO’s high standards of consumer protection. And if a worst-case scenario does happen, and the travel agency, wholesaler, airline or cruise line you’ve booked with goes bankrupt, you will be eligible for up to

$5,000 in compensation from Ontario’s Travel Industry Compensation Fund.

Here are some other travel-planning tips to keep in mind: • Remember that advertisements by Ontario travel

agencies and wholesalers must show the full cost of the trip, or the base price plus all the taxes, surcharges or other fees.

• Ask your agent about any terms and conditions of your booking, any insurance

coverage, refund policies and penalties at the time of booking.

• When you make a payment, remember that your travel agent is required to provide you with a full receipt.

Klaraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magical dream journey as she experiences a Canadian winter filled with enchanted snowflakes, lumberjacks, Mounties and creatures of the forest.

There are a core of six dancers from the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home base in Toronto, but as the company tours the province, they cast nearly 20 dancers from ages eight to 17 in roles such as frogs and dragon flies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The frogs are typically for the younger dancers and require less skill,â&#x20AC;? said Clea Iveson, the education manager for Ballet Jorgen, adding even the audition is a wonderful experience.

Prospective dancers were evaluated by as many as three volunteer judges. They are judged on everything from

style and choreography to their ability to get into character. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they are a frog, we want to see how they jump, for example,â&#x20AC;? Iveson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough process and one they have to get used to if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to make a career out of dancing.â&#x20AC;?

The mandate of the ballet company is to build communities through dance. Organizers host 600 events across the country each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ensure communities large and small, urban and rural, have access to a ballet experience that is recognized for its innovation, warmth and beauty,â&#x20AC;? Iveson said.

Ballet Jorgen has existed since 1995 and has been performing The Nutcracker for the last five years.

Quarantine officers screening for Ebola virus at Ottawa airport Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - While there are no direct flights into Canada from Ebola-affected West African nations, passengers arriving at six Canadian airports, including the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, are now being screened for signs of the potentially deadly viral infection.

Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose announced Oct. 8 that “targeted temperature screening” at Canadian borders would be conducted.

“All individuals arriving in Canada from Ebola-affected countries will have their temperature taken by a quarantine officer,” a Public Health Agency of Canada spokesperson said in an email.

Ehanced screening will be implemented for travellers arriving from Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, which are at the centre of the current Ebola outbreak.

“All travelers from Ebola-affected countries will undergo a mandatory health assessment and be asked a series of health-related and exposure questions,” the agency official said.

Ambrose’s statement came the same day the United States announced it would implement enhanced airport screening measures for Ebola and that extra personnel would be put in place at five American airports, including JFK International Airport in New York City.

JFK airport receives more than 94 percent of travellers from Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Screening will also be conducted at Washington-Dulles, Newark, ChicagoO’Hare and Atlanta airports.

The U.S. plans were revealed the

same day a Liberian man died from Ebola in a Texas hospital.

In Canada, quarantine officers are now present at six airports, including Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, Halifax, Calgary and Vancouver, which receive the most international travellers.

Quarantine officers will also be available to respond remotely around the clock in support of Canada border officers who are stationed at all Canadian air, land and sea entry points.

Travellers coming into Canada from affected West African nations will be identified and asked about their health, in keeping with Canada’s Quarantine Act, Dr. Gregory Taylor, Canada’s chief public health officer, said in an Oct. 8 statement.

“If these travellers are ill or identify as having been in contact with an ill person, they will be referred to a Public Health Agency of Canada quarantine officer,” he said. “Quarantine officers have the necessary training and equipment, including temperature-monitoring devices, to conduct a health assessment and determine whether additional health measures are required.”

Those travellers to Canada who say they are sick or have been exposed will have their temperature checked.

One of the symptoms of Ebola is the quick onset of a high temperature of at least 38C. “There has never been a case of Ebola in Canada, and the risk to Canadians remains very low,” Taylor said. “I want to reassure Canadians that the risk of Ebola has not changed and remains very low, and we will consider any additional measures needed to protect Canadians.”

Public health officials say the

SUBMITTED

Enhanced screening for the Ebola virus is now being conducted at six Canadian airports, including the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport. Dr. Gregory Taylor, chief public health officer of Canada, says the risk of Canadians contracting the Ebola virus is ‘very low.’ virus does not spread easily from person to person, and can only be caught through direct contact with infected bodily fluids.

EBOLA SYMPTOMS

• Ebola symptoms can begin two to 21 days after exposure.

• Initial symptoms include high temperature, sore throat, fever, chills, headache, muscle pain and weakness.

• Additional symptoms include rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and late-stage symptoms include hemorrhaging from inside and outside the body, which can lead to death.

Hubley cites overwhelming demand as reason to seek re-election 2015 federal election race ‘is not and never was on the table’ Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Kanata South incumbent Allan Hubley registered as a candidate as early as possible, and for good reason, he said: popular demand.

“My community asked me to continue working on their behalf and my family supports my doing so,” he said. “If I was hearing over the last four years that I was not meeting or exceeding their expectations, I would not be running.”

Hubley said that entering the 2015 federal election race “is not and never was on the table,” and that, if elected, he intends to finish the four-year term.

“I want to be very, very clear here that I’m not interested in running in 2015 at all,” he said. “I have no intention at all, even if people ask me to do it, to run in the federal election in 2015.

“No other level of government allows you to bring about the

changes I have been able to deliver, which is why my heart is at the local level of government,” said Hubley.

Some community members have aired their concerns that Hubley may run in the 2015 federal election, likely as a Conservative candidate in the new Kanata-Carleton riding, especially after an Ottawa Citizen story said Hubley would no rule it out.

The story caught him off-guard he said, adding, “I apologize for any confusion that the Citizen article may have created.”

Hubley said any consideration for a federal nomination would have to be after the four-year term, and that, even then, his heart and passion remains at the municipal level.

The Kanata South race has been short this year, as Hubley looked poised to be acclaimed until two candidates registered on the last day possible: Sept. 12.

Hubley has been running on his record as councillor for Kanata South in 2010, saying he has been instrumental in addressing major issues in the ward, including flooding, which he identified as the number one issue in 2010.

“Several insurance companies and real estate agents were punishing all residents for the errors of the previous municipality in storm water and hydro planning,” said Hubley.

“With the support of Mayor Watson after a personal tour of the ward, I was able to secure $35-million in flood mitigation work which is almost all completed,” he said.

Hydro upgrades have also been a feature of his tenure as councillor, he said, as well as repaving and repairing streets. As vice chair of transportation at the city, Hubley said he has secured funding for many speed-reduction pilot projects, and has engaged the National Capital Commission to improve the Hope Side Road to West Hunt Club Road corridor, though the city continues to wait on provincial approval.

Upcoming projects under Hubley’s watch would include a sugar bush and a splash pad that converts to a skating rink, he said.

The other candidates for Ward 23 Kanata South are David Abuwa and Bruce Faulkner.

Incumbent Allan Hubley is running for councillor of Kanata South.

Marianne Wilkinson says residents convinced her to run in 2014 Retirement a personal choice: candidate Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Marianne Wilkinson, Kanata North’s councillor since 2006, says she was convinced to run for the post again by residents and colleagues, despite considering leaving politics in 2010.

Calling retirement “a personal choice,” she said a promise not to run in 2014 was never part of her 2010 platform, and that she is ready to serve Kanata North once again.

“After much consideration and looking at the needs of the community and hearing from more residents and colleagues urging me to run … I decided to do so,” she said.

Wilkinson has been a part of Kanata’s politics almost since the community was created, having moved to Kanata in 1968 and becoming a councillor for March township for five years in the 1970s.

In 2003, she ran as a Liberal candidate for Lanark-Carleton in the provincial election, but said she has no interest in running for another level

of government in the future.

A large part of Wilkinson’s platform touts her experience as Kanata North’s councillor and her accomplishments thus far.

Her experience will be even more necessary in the upcoming term, she said, as many experienced councilors are retiring.

“There is a need to keep a balance between new members and those with experience,” said Wilkinson.

“Even if all incumbents are returned, about 70 per cent of Ottawa city council will have four or fewer years of experience,” she said.

Some members of the community have said in the course of this year’s race that Wilkinson’s experience is further evidence that she should retire, and that she has done enough for Kanata North over the years. Wilkinson says otherwise.

Though she lists the fundraising for extras for the Richcraft Recreation Complex as one of her many accomplishments, she said there remains fundraising to be done, and that she is best placed to do that in office.

Supporting residents on Windance and Celtic Ridge Crescents in obtaining a protective buffer separating them from new urban development is

another key reason she is seeking reelection, she said. As is strengthening the Kanata North Business Park, which she said has made progress, but remains fragile.

Among her accomplishments, Wilkinson lists the Beaverbrook library expansion, a greater connection between mountain bike riders and city staff in maintain South March Highlands trails, new roads including the Terry Fox Drive extension and a reconstructed Kanata Avenue, and the light rail transit plan which will extend rail to Canadian Tire Centre in its third phase and improved bus transit lanes into Kanata in the meantime.

Communication has also been a feature of her time in office, she said, with 36 town-hall meetings over the past four years, and many more local meetings on zoning and planning issues.

If re-elected, Wilkinson said she would bring to council 25 years’ worth of municipal affairs experience, giving her a deep understanding of what is necessary to advocate for the needs and best interests of Kanata North and the city.

The other candidates for Kanata North are Matt Muirhead and Jeff Seeton.

NCC plans footbridge, path access to hidden island ‘gems’ Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Three new footbridges and improvements and additions to pathways on the islands near the Portage Bridge will provide better access to the city’s “hidden gems,” according to the National Capital Commission.

The federal agency has $10 million to put towards the project, set to be completed

by Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017, so it’s finally putting its longstanding vision of improving access to Victoria and Amelia islands into action, said Stephen Willis, executive director of the NCC’s planning branch.

Willis said he hopes the underappreciated area becomes something as vibrant as Toronto’s distillery district one day.

“So few people who live in the capital have visited this part of the area,” he said.

“What we want people to do is appreciate the incredible history in this area – both the First Nations history and the early colonization history and really how this place evolved with industrial history.”

A public consultation and tour held on Oct. 7 drew at least 100 people to the Mill St. Brew Pub, which is in the middle of the area to be improved. Many in attendance said they had a heightened awareness about the area and any potential development due to the city’s recent, but unrelated, discussion and approval of development company Windmill’s proposed plans for a mixed-use community on the adjacent privately owned Chaudière and Albert islands.

That discussion brought 47 people to a meeting of the city’s planning committee to express their opposition for the development project. Many of them spoke in favour of late Kitigàn-zìbì Anishinàbeg First Nation chief William Commanda’s vision for the islands, including an aboriginal meeting place or centre.

The public access plan for the NCC-owned Victoria and Amelia islands and Rich-

mond’s Landing is not related to Windmill’s development, nor is it is precursor to any new development at those locations, Willis said. Rather, it’s part of a larger theme the NCC is focusing on under the new chief executive, Mark Kristmanson: public access to the Ottawa River.

But Willis noted that the improved connections could help promote access to the site both the NCC and city have supported as a potential future meeting place or centre for aboriginal people.

“I think William Commanda’s plan is incredibly visionary and compelling,” Willis said. “It’s going to take a lot of players doing a lot of things to make it ultimately come together. I think we’re doing our part here right now.”

The plans presented by the NCC include: • Fixes to the crumbling Bronson pulp mill ruins beside the Mill St. pub • A pedestrian and cycling bridge from the ruins across the Bronson Channel to Amelia Island, where a hydro generating station and an old logging chute are located • A series of two more footbridges on the east side of the Portage Bridge to connect the pathway system to Richmond Landing – the location of the navy monument – and across the channel to Victoria Island • A canoe/kayak dock at Richmond Landing; pathway and water access improvements on the south shore of Victoria Island • A switchback ramp to provide universal accessibility from the Wellington/Portage intersection to the paths east of the intersection The projects are intended to highlight the aboriginal and natural heritage of the islands, recognize the military presence in the region and showcase the manufacturing and power generation industries that kickstarted Ottawa’s development into a capital city.

Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes, who represents the area, said she has told NCC officials she thinks the approximately $10-million price tag is unre-

Willis said the final cost won’t be known until the project is put out to tender, but he thinks something in the order of $10 million is reasonable.

“These are not signature bridges – they are more modest placements,” he said.

The consultation was held to assess whether members of the public generally liked the plans and see if they had any ideas for improvements.

Some people who attended expressed concerns about proposed clearing of brush along the shorelines and around an old logging chute that separates Amelia Island and a hydro generating station from Victoria Island. Willis said an ecological study is underway to ensure that important species are protected and he added that any clearing would be minimal in order to provide public access to the waterfront.

Chaudière rezoning OK’d despite critics’ pleas Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - After hearing positive feedback about Windmill’s proposed Chaudière and Albert islands redevelopment, members of the planning committee were caught off guard by dozens of people who showed up to oppose the project during an Oct. 2 planning committee meeting.

In the end, both the planning committee and full city council approved the rezoning to allow the plan to move forward.

Although Windmill’s Jeff Westiende said the developer’s consultations, which attracted more than 1,000 people, didn’t receive any major opposition from groups including the Algonquins of Ontario, 47 delegates signed up to speak in opposition of the major redevelopment plan, which would see the former industrial paper-mill islands and part of the Quebec waterfront transformed into a mixed-use community built with ecologically friendly aspirations. The site is around 650 metres north of the LeBreton

Developer Windmill got city council’s blessing for its plans to build a mixed-use community on the site of a former paper mill on Albert and Chaudiere islands, despite 47 people speaking in opposition to the plan. Many critics wanted to see the indigenous sacred lands preserved.

Transitway station (the future Pimisi light-rail station) at the end of Booth Street. If the development is approved and built, it would become home to 1,200 residential units, 17,000 square metres of office space

and 4,800 square metres of retail space.

That didn’t appease critics who attended the planning committee meeting.

Many invoked the vision of the late William Commanda,

chief of the Kitigàn-zìbì Anishinàbeg First Nation. Commanda wanted to honor the sacred site called Asinabka – which refers to the Chaudière Falls, Chaudière Island, and Victoria Island – by redeveloping the area with an indigenous centre, a regional and national history centre and a conference facility.

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko summed up the issue during the council meeting on Oct. 8: “I can’t find the words to say how awkward this situation is.”

But Chernushenko, Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes – whose ward includes the project – and other councillors agreed the plan was the best way to move forward, especially because they felt the city could have a good working and negotiating relationship with the developer, Windmill.

The item was up for discussion at the meeting because the 7.3-hectare property, paper-mill owner Domtar sold to Windmill in December of 2013, is currently zoned as parkland, even

though it was occupied by an industrial facility for years. In an unusual situation, Albert and Chaudière islands do not have a land-use designation in the city’s secondary plan for the central area.

SACRED SITE

During the Oct. 2 planning committee meeting, speaker after speaker implored the committee to reject the application, saying the land should be kept as parkland until a broader discussion on how to implement Commanda’s vision can be found.

“This has been a sacred site,” said Judith Matheson, who described herself as a student of Commanda’s. “This was their Mecca.”

“Look into your hearts as to whether you are doing the right thing,” said Phil Weir, another speaker.

Others worried that the development would “privatize” Chaudière Falls and restrict access to the waterfall to only those rich enough to live in the

new development.

Westiende said Windmill’s goal is to make the site accessible to everyone.

He said the company is open to dialog about how to improve its proposed community, which it is calling the Isles.

Biola Smith, one of the speakers, said she didn’t see a way Commanda and Windmill’s visions could be reconciled.

“I believe in development.

We are in the world – this is the way it is,” she said. “It is a nice development, but I believe, in the city there must be another place.”

In November of 2010, the city’s community and protective services committee approved a motion and report from thenBay Coun. Alex Cullen for the city to indicate its support for a National Indigenous Centre in the Nation’s Capital, and to encourage the federal government to work with stakeholders such as First Nations and the provincial government to establish that centre on Victoria Island, which is not part of Windmill’s redevelopment.

Five quick tips to save energy in your home

Unplug

Rid your home of phantom energy by unplugging electronics and gadgets.

Even when not in use, appliances like your TV, toaster and computer are on standby mode and still suck energy.

To eliminate this waste, unplug your home electronics when they aren’t in use.

Slow cooking

!õç į for the į Ř T

Ë à õ !

Embrace the cold

Wash and rinse your clothes

the

in cold water.

Worried cold water won’t be as effective as hot?

Think again. Detergents such as Tide Coldwater are specifically designed to work in cold water conditions and are just as effective at removing stains and odours.

Better yet, washing with Tide Coldwater can save you $7 per load in energy costs so consider turning down the dial next time you’re washing your clothes.

Nothing warms the soul better than a home cooked meal that has been simmering all day long.

During the winter months, try using a slow cooker instead of the oven. Despite the longer cooking times, slow cookers use less energy than ovens.

Artistic Landscape Design, 2079 Bank St.

Cozy up

Install a programmable thermostat in your home to reduce your energy costs.

During the winter months, set the heat a few degrees lower during the day when you aren’t home.

For those extra chilly nights, try grabbing a sweatshirt, adding an extra blanket or cuddling up to your loved ones.

These options keep you toasty warm and put money back in your pocket.

Let it rain

Though a long soak in the tub can be tempting, showers use less energy than baths.

For even more energy savings, keep showers short and choose a low-flow shower head.

Watson proposes ward traffic-calming funds Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Mayor Jim Watson says he has a solution for a problem city councillors spent much of the last term bickering over – traffic calming.

In a campaign announcement on Oct. 3, Watson said he’d boost roadsafety funding by $6 million in the next term of council, including wardspecific pools of money that would give councillors control to pay for small projects aimed at increasing street safety and alleviating traffic congestion.

The money would pay for 20 new red-light cameras to be added in the next four years, Watson said, bringing the total number of cameras to 53. The funding promise would also increase money for the Safer Roads Ottawa department from $75,000 to $500,000 annually.

But the most interesting suggestion – and the one councillors and the transportation committee have spent hours arguing over – is the idea of creating an annual $1-million fund that would be split between the 23 wards and give councillors control over small projects like adding flexible bollards to the centre of roads or

Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli, who has served as chairman of the transportation committee for half of the current term of council, has also been campaigning on the issue. Egli said his experience working with staff to get temporary markers for Woodfield Crescent, Viewmount Drive and

installing planters that visually narrow the road, slowing down motorists.

“No one knows local community roads better than the families who live on them and use them every day,” Watson said in a press release.

“I know we will make even more progress if we work together and have community-level conversations about

Chesterton Avenue convinced him that ward-specific funds for traffic calming would help to alleviate local traffic issues.

Renewed pressure for citywide or ward-specific funds for trafficcalming measures stepped up after a transportation committee meeting in March, when the committee punted

the issue to councillors to deal with using their $241,508 annual office budgets.

That decision was largely based on the success of a traffic-calming project undertaken by Alta Vista Coun.

Peter Hume, who spent $4,468 of his office budget on such measures over the last two years.

At that meeting, councillors made it clear that a more sustainable source of funding needed to be identified in next year’s budget.

Paying for stop-gap measures is a reoccurring conversation at city council.

Council discussed creating a $30,000 traffic management fund for each ward in 2012, but instead decided on a one-time citywide $2.5 million fund to address a backlog of problems.

The discussion in March clearly frustrated retiring Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess, who has repeatedly said he was in favour of ward-specific trafficcalming funds that councillors would control.

“We wouldn’t be having this debate if we followed through with what this committee originally decided, which got nixed by the mayor’s office,” Bloess said at the time.

Research suggests studying hands-on improves recall Old-fashioned practice stimulates brain Lifestyle - What do fingers and hands have to do with how well studied material can be recalled?

According to research, the physical act of holding a pen and writing something out by hand stimulates critical

activity in specific areas of the brain.

In a recent study, one group learned the alphabet by writing the letters out by hand.

The other group read solely off computers.

The group who wrote out the letters by hand had better recall and scored better on tests.

According to Dr. Nick Whitehead, the CEO and founder of Oxford Learn-

ing, these studies prove what educators have long known about studying and remembering, “There are many different ways to approach the process of studying, but one of the best-known has always been to create study notes using pen and paper,” he said.

It may seem an old-fashioned practice given the abundance of personal technology that students have at their

fingertips, but the act of physically writing creates a motor memory in the brain that improves recall.

Not only do study notes help students organize the material, the act of holding the pen and writing notes makes the study process active, rather than passive.

How to Create Study Notes:

• Grab a pen and paper.

• Read over all in-class or textbook notes.

• Write down subject headings, subheadings, and bolded or key words.

• Focus on writing down the ideas or concepts that are the most challenging, or that are the most difficult to remember.

I am planning to purchase my first home. Are there any tax incentives for first time home buyers?

As a first time home buyer you may be eligible to receive a partial refund of the Ontario Land Transfer Tax which is charged on real estate purchases. The First Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit and the Home Buyers’ Plan are federal programs that provide assistance.

Land Transfer Tax (LTT) The Land Transfer Tax is paid to Ontario government whenever there is a registered change of ownership of real property. While there are certain exceptions, the land transfer tax is generally payable whenever someone purchases a residential home. The amount of the LTT depends on the purchase price and the current tax rate rises progressively from 0.5% on the first $55,000 of the purchase price to 2% of the amount of purchase price which exceeds $400,000.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

First time home buyers get a LTT refund up to a maximum of $2,000. To qualify for this refund, you must not have owned a home anywhere in the world in the past and you must use your new home as your primary residence within nine months of the purchase. If you are buying a home together with someone that is not a first time home buyer, you can still receive half of the refund.

First Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit (HBTC) The First Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit is available for the taxation year in which a first home is purchased. The value of this tax credit is $5,000. It can lower a person’s income tax by up to $750.

Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP) Home buyers can withdraw up to $25,000 from an RRSP if the funds are used towards the purchase of their home. Although there are no immediate tax consequences at the time of withdrawal, the full amount must be repaid to the RRSP within 15 years. To qualify the Purchaser must not have owned a home in the preceding four years.

Ottawa boy wins the shopping spree of a lifetime Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Liam Elder has only three-minutes to grab as many toys as possible.

The young boy will be one of eight children across Canada with the chance to spend 180 seconds grabbing all they can at Toys “R” Us stores.

The toys are donated by the toy store as part of its 16 year support of Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada -- a foundation which provides families and children family-centered programs and services from hospital to home.

A Glebe resident, Liam will go to the Toys “R” Us at St. Laurent Shopping Centre on Oct. 21.

His father, Peter Elder, said they plan to map out the store so they can get as many of the toys on Liam’s list as possible. For Liam, Elder said it will be all about Lego when the clock starts.

“He really likes Lego,” Elder said. “When he found out he was picked, he went on the Toys “R” Us website to figure out what he needs and where he needs to be in the store.”

Liam was first diagnosed with leukemia in 2011.

He finished his first treatment in October 2013 and for nine months Liam was cancer-free.

Elder said they found out the cancer came back this past July.

This upcoming toy dash means a lot of to Liam and to the family, Elder said.

“It’s something fun to do and exciting and something that is not related to hospitals and being sick,” Elder said.

“Most of his days are circling around treatment and being at CHEO.” The eight seriously ill children were randomly selected as part of a contest run by Starlight. The children have the opportunity to snag as many toys as they can, with a cap of $3,000. The toy dashes will take place in five cities across Canada: Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver.

“Special events like the 3-Minute Dash provide Starlight children with a chance to create much-needed positive memories away from the hospital, treatments and therapies,” said Brian Bringolf, Starlight’s executive director.

According to Toys “R” Us Canada’s president Kevin Macnab, offering children a toy shopping spree is the perfect escape from the hospital.

Liam most recently underwent surgery related to his illness and Elder said the family is looking forward to the 10-year-old having something else to focus on.

Silber found out about the tragedy via a letter from another friend while her family was on vacation in Maine.

“I was faced with tremendous tragedy and loss and there were no resources,” Fishman said, adding her father retreated into his grief.

Fishman, who turned her tragedy into a career as an inspirational speaker, will give the opening address at Choices, the annual Jewish Federation of Ottawa’s women’s fundraising campaign.

The theme for the event is positivity, persistence and patience, and is set to take place at the Augdath Israel Congregation at 1400 Coldrey Ave.

She didn’t know at the time, but her parents had been notified earlier. Her father was the family’s dentist and was called to identify Fishman’s mother and sisters through their dental records.

“I just remember crying all the way home,” Silber said. “I had a lot of nightmares. There were really no supports at the time.”

Fishman said she didn’t really start to deal with her own grief until life circumstances nearly 35 years, brought back some of the memories.

Quality of life gap widening in Ottawa, group says laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Ottawa offers a great quality of life for residents – those who are affluent.

But according to a new report from the local health and resource centres, the city needs to do a better job investing in people and communities.

The report, called Bridging the Gap, used the Canadian Index of Wellbeing’s 64 indicators to assess the divide in the quality of life for Ottawa citizens.

The results are telling, according to the Coalition of Community Health and Resource Centres.

Although Ottawa has the highest median income in the country, the city’s poverty rate sits at 11.7 per cent – only marginally lower than the number for Ontario – 13.9 per cent – and Canada as a whole, which has a 14.7 per cent poverty rate.

“When you look at the (Canadian Index of Wellbeing) indicators for Ottawa you find a disturbing divide,” said Jack McCarthy, executive director of Somerset West Community Health Centre.

“There (are) some indicators that

show a city of great prosperity, but there are many others that reveal the city needs to do a better job improving health and wellbeing.”

The report was released during a panel discussion at city hall on Oct. 7.

One panelist, Mike Bulthuis, executive director of the Alliance to End Homelessness, said the city needs to draw on the potential and assets of that highly educated and high-earning population to find creative ways to help those in poverty.

The Making Votes Count Where We Live initiative partnered to produce the report and leverage it to encourage people to vote in the Oct. 27 municipal election and support policies that can improve the wellbeing of all residents. four points

The report focuses on four municipal policy recommendations that would make Ottawa a healthier and fairer place, according to the coalition: • Implement the city’s 10-year housing and homelessness plan • Enact policies to increase access to nutritious and affordable food

• Promote city employment and contract opportunities for youth and other underrepresented groups • Make transit more affordable to people living on low incomes by making the lower-rate community bus pass available to people whose income is less than the low-income cut-off Linda Lalonde, co-chairwoman of the Ottawa Poverty Reduction Network, spoke on the panel in support of expanding access to transit – not just by increasing the reach of bus routes, but also by making it more affordable for people living in poverty to use transit.

“It’s really hard to focus on what’s beyond your doorstep when you can’t reach beyond your doorstep,” she said.

Investing money in helping give people access to transportation they need in order to participate in and contribute to society can save money in the long run, Lalonde said.

Those people will need to rely on social services less if they are empowered to use transit to help themselves, she said.

“We need to ask (candidates) ‘why not,’ instead of ‘why,’” she said.

Outreach expansion helping most vulnerable seniors Nurses and community health workers provide free house calls Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – Every time registered nurse Patricia Barrett-Robillard knocks at Hope Wilson’s door, the 90-year-old Alta Vista resident knows she will be in good hands during the house call.

Barrett-Robillard has been helping Wilson stay healthy and continue living independently for about three years as part of the Primary Care Outreach for Seniors Program offered by the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre.

“I wasn’t feeling well and by the time she left I felt better,” Wilson said of Barrett-Robillard’s first home visit. “She looks into my medication and I have a feeling that things are straightened out and things are working right.

“And if there’s a problem she’ll look into it. She’ll contact the doctor, which I’m not very good at,” she said during the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre’s Oct. 8 celebration of the expansion of its Primary Care Outreach for Seniors Program.

The health centre was one of 11 sites to receive more than $1.2 million last November from the Champlain Local Health Integration Network to expand the program regionally.

Since then primary care outreach teams of registered nurses and community health workers have been helping more than 1,000 vulnerable seniors 65 and older receive help with their complex care needs, such as cognitive impairment, diabetes and high blood pressure, among other conditions.

The goal is to help them stay well

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Ninety-year-old Hope Wilson, left, her home care worker, registered nurse Patricia Barrett-Robillard and Cathie Racicot, co-ordinator of primary care outreach at the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre, had a reason to celebrate Oct. 8. The centre is expanding its primary care outreach for seniors program, which helps seniors live independently and longer in their own homes. so they can continue to live in their own homes, reducing visits to emergency rooms and admissions to hospitals and long-term care facilities.

“We will often see clients who may have just tons of medications all over the place they’re not taking or are really just mixed up in that,” said Wilson’s nurse, Barrett-Robillard.

“We might see that their weight has gone down significantly because they’re not eating properly. We might see that they haven’t bathed or showered in a while because they have mobility issues and are afraid of falls.”

The outreach program is available

through the South-East Ottawa, Centretown, Somerset West, PinecrestQueensway and the Carlington community health centres.

Six new sites have been added thanks to the funding, including the South Nepean satellite of the Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre, the Eastern Ottawa and Western Ottawa community resource centres, and the North Lanark, Seaway Valley and Sandy Hill community health centres.

“When the expansion is fully implemented, we will support another 1,000 seniors bringing the total se-

niors supported to 2,000 across our region,” said Leslie McDiarmid, executive director of the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre.

The money is paying for healthcare outreach teams as well as a centralized referral intake process.

“I can tell you it will not take us long to reach 2,000,” McDiarmid said. “In September alone we had 175 referrals.”

Seniors’ needs were not being adequately cared for when the Local Health Integrated Networks became responsible for funding and planning regional health-care services a few

years ago, said Chantale LeClerc, chief executive officer of the Champlain Local Health Integrated Network.

The organization manages more than $2.5 billion in funding which flows through organizations such as the community health centres, and works to better integrate health-care services.

“We saw far too many seniors visiting emergency departments for the kinds of things that should have been looked after by their family physicians and their nurse practitioners and their health teams in their community,” LeClerc said.

Money from the provincial government’s aging and home strategy initiative allowed the health networks to work with partners to improve seniors’ health, and help them connect them to services, particularly after hospital stays.

Despite seeing a difference, there was concern that the most vulnerable seniors, such as those living on their own, weren’t receiving enough care, prompting the 2009 launch of the Primary Care Outreach for Seniors Program.

It expanded from two to five sites in 2011, which led to a 60 per cent reduction in emergency department visits and a 47 per cent reduction in hospital admissions, said LeClerc.

“That’s phenomenal, and if you translate that into dollars, that’s not only good for the seniors, that was good for everybody because it meant fewer people accessing resources that maybe others could be using,” LeClerc said.

“And that’s a savings to the healthcare system.”

Referrals for free in-home services are accepted from any source for eligible seniors ages 65 and older who may be isolated and are at risk of being hospitalized in Ottawa, the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry and Lanark County.

Glebe history plaque to return to Bank Street michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A new plaque being placed in the Glebe will help to reaffirm the neighbourhood’s place in Ottawa’s history.

Lynn Barlow, a member of the Glebe Community Association, said the group is working at replacing the original plaque at Bank Street and Second Avenue that was stolen in 2007. Since then, the association has been working to replace it.

Barlow said the new plaque will be installed at St. Giles Presbyterian Church, facing First Avenue.

The plaque was initially was erected in the October 1991 thanks

to the efforts of both the community association and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. It commemorated the transferring of the Glebe properties to the city, all 72 hectares, in 1837.

The Glebe community was first developed by the city in 1890 because of the transfer of lands.

The Glebe Community Association split the costs of purchasing and mounting the plaque, and once it had been installed the city agreed to take ownership of it.

According to the association, the city will pay for the cost of the new plaque, as it has been putting aside $125 each year for maintenance of the plaque since 1991.

The new plaque will read: “A gle-

be of approximately 200 acres was granted for the support of the Church of Scotland at Bytown (St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church) on the 3rd of April 1837, pursuant to the Quebec Act of 1774. Described as lot H, concession C of Nepean Township, it was originally bounded by present day Glebe Avenue, Fifth Avenue, Bronson Avenue and Main Street.

Serious development west of the canal began in the 1890s, and the term The Glebe now describes the entire 600 acres bound by the Rideau Canal and the Queensway.”

FILE Barlow said the plaque is expected to be installed by the end of October The Glebe Community Association is working at returning a history plaque, similar to other city heritage plaques to Bank Street. The plaque or early November.

The Royal announces new campaign against suicide Health Centre, foundations to create research chair dedicated to suicide prevention Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

News - The fight to understand and prevent suicide received a large boost on Oct. 8, thanks to a charitable foundation, a local fundraising initiative, The Royal, and a sizeable cash donation.

Do It For Daron and the Mach-Gaensslen Foundation each contributed $1 million to help create a research chair dedicated to the study of suicide prevention. Once formed, the DIFD Mach-Gaensslen Chair in Suicide Prevention Research at The Royal will consult experts, community partners and families to build a list of best practices aimed at reducing instances of suicide.

MORTALITY RATES

In a media release, George Weber, president and chief executive of The Royal, stated that mortality rates from suicide have remained constant while those from cancer and heart disease have diminished.

“As a statistic, this is staggering and it becomes even more troubling when we remind ourselves that each suicide is a loved one lost and a family devastated,” said Weber.

“We need to get better at preventing suicide. Better prevention can only be achieved through the knowledge and understanding brought about by research.”

“In its purest form, this chair is about saving lives, and putting in place the appropriate treatments to prevent suicides,” said Karen Monoghan, spokeswoman for The Royal.

Monoghan said The Royal wants to have the chair in place “as soon as possible,” and will now embark on a recruitment process to ensure the best candidate is chosen.

The position should be filled in six months to a year.

The twin donations make up part of The Royal’s $25 million annual Capital Campaign for Mental Health, and will establish the chair position for a period of 10 years.

“We’re looking for a clinician and researcher who will stay connected, part of the time, to clinical practice,” said Monoghan. “This way, the research will be translated into real solutions.”

Part of the job of the research chair will be to seek out medical grants, she said, in

will replace one which was stolen in 2007.

order to keep the position active for longer than the 10-year time frame.

DO IT FOR DARON

Do It For Daron was formed in the wake of the 2010 suicide of Daron Richardson, the 14year-old daughter of former Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson. Since then, Luke and Stephanie Richardson have raised funds to bolster resources for youth mental health. Among the initiatives that have benefitted from this are The Royal’s youth-targeted Healthy Minds phone app and the “Is It Just Me?” youth mental health program.

“Seeing the chair in Suicide Prevention Research come to fruition at The Royal brings us great hope – hope that other families can avoid the horrific despair of losing someone to suicide,” said the Richardsons in a released statement.

“DIFD is able to support this life-saving research initiative only because of the vast and overwhelming support that the Ottawa community and others have given us.”

The Mach-Gaensslen Foundation of Canada was formed in 2000 to support research in the fields of cardiology, oncology and psychiatry.

This is its largest donation to date.

Ottawa couple launch a new secure data app lost or stolen.

“We have a lot of doctors who are users because they can actually share private information,” Ponnambalam said.

Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Sem Ponnambalam and her husband David Mohajer both have private information that could be floating around in cyberspace.

Both were subject of privacy breaches, Ponnambalam at a local hopsital, and Mohajer from OSAP, the Ontario Student Loan Assistance program.

“It’s a pretty scary notion because we still don’t know (if anything will happen),” Ponnambalam said. “We had to take extra precautions, we had to go through checking our credit and so on.”

The experience lead the Blackburn Hamlet couple to develop a new application called Xahive, which lets users communicate securely with encrypted documents or messages.

A user can attach a file and encrypt it with a password that both the sender and reciever know. The reciever then needs to use the document’s specific password to access it.

The application is compliant with Canadian and American privacy laws, and allows sensitive data to be transmitted with less risk of being

NOT VISIBLE

“Let’s say there is someone who tries to breach your system. They won’t be able to see what the actual documents are. It’s ideal in the case of a professional.”

She said it could speed up treatment and wait times if medical centres were to use the application to send data – such as test results – instead of physical documents.

Developing the program and launching it has lead to long nights and little sleep for the married couple, who both work full time outside of Xahive.

The application is free to use for limited data transmission, but highusage senders and recievers need to purchase a licence.

They are offering the professional licence free of charge for non-profits.

Xahive launched the first week of July, and already has 700 users, Ponnambalam said.

They had an official launch for the platform on Aug. 29 at the National Arts Centre.

The launch gave stakeholders a chance to dicsuss issues related to personal privacy information, she said.

The application has been well received so far, and they hope to launch it in languages other than English and French this fall.

They are running an IndieGoGo campaign in order to expand the company at www.indiegogo.com/ projects/xahive-expansion-project.

For more information on Xahive, visit www.xahive.com.

Stittsville candidate pulls out of green bin coalition Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - A slate of candidates hoping to abolish the green bin and cancel the Orgaworld contract is down a member.

Stittsville candidate Dave Lee pulled out of the Ottawa Property Owners’ Coalition citing concerns over their hardlined approach, after the group held a press conference at city hall on Oct. 6.

“Their main items are aligned (with my platform), but it’s how they’re going about it that is offputting,” said Lee, who is running against incumbent Shad Qadri in the municipal election scheduled for Oct. 27. “A little diplomacy would be nice.”

Osgoode ward candidate Mark Scharfe has spent several months gathering candidates across the city to form a “loose-knit group” of candidates that supports cancelling

the “dangerous and inefficient” green bin program, reversing the city’s Orgaworld contract, bringing rural Hydro One customers into Hydro Ottawa and banning the use of biosolids on farmers’ fields.

He is hoping to elect “11 or 12 candidates” so that they have enough people to pass their promises. Motions need 13 votes or more to pass at city council. Scharfe said he holds no hard feelings against Lee for dropping out of the coalition.

“He’s just nervous and he changed his mind,” Scharfe said. “That’s fine. I’m not holding anyone to anything.”

Lee agreed that he was nervous to be part of the coalition once he saw the “right-wing, hard-line approach” of the group.

He said he registered as a candidate at the last minute, and when Scharfe reached out to him Lee found he was aligned

with most of Scharfe’s platform ideas. But as Lee’s campaign got off the ground and he was too swamped to attend any of the coalition’s meetings, Lee backed off.

“My campaign team who has decades of experience said we do not need to be aligning with these guys, or with any party,” Lee said.

Lee added that some issues don’t really affect his ward.

Other candidates in the coalition include Brandon Scharfe (Alta Vista), Roger Scharfe (Gloucester-South Nepean), Jennifer Robitaille (Orleans), Ian Bursey (Barrhaven), James Parsons (West Carleton-March), Guy Annable (College), Mohamed Roble (Gloucester-Southgate), Rene Tessier (Beacon Hill-Cyrville), David-George Oldham (Rideau Vanier), Michael Kostiuk (River) and Marc Belisle (Cumberland).

Spratt matriarch turns 100 Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Manotick native Mary Spratt will mark 100 years with an afternoon party at Orchard View Living Centre on Oct. 19.

The centenarian was born Mary Clapp on Oct. 16, 1914, one of Dr. William Leach’s first deliveries in the village.

She grew up in a custombuilt house at the corner of Clapp Lane and Dickinson Street – a building that is now owned by developer Joe Princiotta and slated for demolition as part of the redevelopment of Dickinson Square.

According to her son Winston Spratt, who is the second youngest of eight children, Mary Spratt was a teacher in the area for about a year before marrying Ken Spratt and moving to his dairy farm on Spratt Road, where Winston still lives.

“She was a business partner with my dad,” Winston said.

“He was a dairy farmer and a cattle dealer and into real estate;

she was the partner, she knew how to keep track of him.”

Winston said his mother worked hard all her life, but never “abused herself” with cigarettes or alcohol, which may be why she has made it to this milestone.

“Mother grew her own vegetables, ate carefully, worked hard, and she had a lot of faith and followed the bible closely.”

Winston Spratt, son

“She’s still got her mind and she questions me that I’m taking care of her investments and about how our kids are doing,” Winston said. “She’s been lucky.”

Members of the public are invited to Mary’s birthday celebration at Orchard View Living Centre on Manotick Station

Road on Sunday, Oct. 19 between 2 and 4 p.m.

Winston said the afternoon will include refreshments, entertainment and the presentation of certificates from Queen Elizabeth II, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Governor General David Johnston and other dignitaries congratulating Mary.

Winston said his mother has lived through a century of change, contributing as a volunteer with the Red Cross for more than 50 years and relying on self-discipline and her bible to overcome challenges.

“She was four years old when the First World War ended, and she got married in the dirty 30s,” Winston said. “Mother grew her own vegetables, ate carefully, worked hard, and she had a lot of faith and followed the bible closely.”

He said he hopes her friends and acquaintances drop in for her celebration, although he requested they limit gifts to cards and letters only.

MATT MUIRHEAD CALLS FOR NEW APPROACH, OVERSIGHT, TO DEVELOPMENT IN KANATA NORTH Calls for end to spot-rezoning in communities such as Beaverbrook

By Cameron Bishop City Council candidate, Matt Muirhead, has released his plan to improve development in Kanata North. The strategy includes the creation of a Kanata North Development Oversight Committee to ensure that residents have a say in the look, the feel and the approach of new building projects across the ward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My plan for improving development in Kanata North is built first and foremost on the principle of consultation with residents,â&#x20AC;? Muirhead said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kanata North is made up of incredibly intelligent, progressive and innovative people. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the job of a good City Councillor to tap into that knowledge base, and create an environment where the best ideas for growth come forwardâ&#x20AC;?.

Muirhead pointed out that, over the last 8 years, development Matt Muirhead is running in Kanata North has resulted in neighbourhoods built with smaller garages, shorter driveways, narrower streets, and for Ottawa City Council to shorter setbacks from the road. represent Kanata North â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a two car household â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as in the case of townhomes - invariably one vehicle ends up on the street, further crowding already narrow roads,â&#x20AC;? Muirhead added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some cases, streets in Kanata North have even become DEVELOPMENT PLANS AFTER THEY HAVE LARGELY BEEN lNALIZED impassable for emergency vehicles. These crowded new â&#x20AC;&#x201C; without consultation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is tired and ineffective.

Enterovirus D68 cases at CHEO climb to a dozen Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Eight patients have been treated for enterovirus D68 at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, bringing the total to 12 since August.

“I wouldn’t call it an increase because that’s out of the batch of tests that we sent and we stepped up the number of people who were being tested (in which) the samples were being sent,” said CHEO spokeswoman, Eva Schacherl. “It’s what we expected to see or maybe even a little less.”

CHEO first announced it had treated four people with the EV-D68 virus strain in late August, and early September. Symptoms are similar to the common cold, but can cause wheezing and breathing difficulties in some children who have asthma.

The most recent group of patients remained in hospital between two and six days, which she said “is not really out of the ordinary.” Schacherl did not know the ages of the patients.

When asked if their symptoms were severe, she said, “From the parent’s perspective, when their child is

File

Since late August, 12 patients at CHEO have tested positive for enterovirus D68, which presents like a common cold but can cause wheezing and breathing difficulties in some children with asthma. The patients have all been treated and released. hospitalized it’s traumatic and it’s serious, but for us in terms of the range of cases that we see we’re not seeing anything out of the ordinary.

“We see respiratory illness every year that can require hospitalization.”

In the U.S., while clusters of patients with the EV-D68 strain of the virus have suffered from muscle weakness and paralysis, in followups here, CHEO patients have not shown any neurological symptoms

or symptoms that are out of the ordinary, Schacherl said.

“We haven’t seen it, thank goodness. We’re going to be continuing to monitor that and look out for it,” she said, adding that muscle paralysis and weakness also appear with other types of viruses. “What is unusual is to see some clusters.”

The CHEO cases involving EVD68 were positively tested at the national microbiology laboratory in Winnipeg. The results, which take

weeks to come back, are beneficial for researchers and those studying epidemics, but do not alter the course of treatment in hospital.

“Even if we could get (the test results) instantly, it wouldn’t change the treatment because there’s no vaccine or specific treatment for this strain,” Schacherl said.

From now on, CHEO will only send away samples to test for EVD68 in serious cases “because that is consistent with what other hospitals are doing,” she said.

“So we’ve … got that information in terms of, ‘Are we (just) seeing just D68? No, we’re seeing a mix (of different viruses),’ so now we can just move forward knowing that that’s the case,” Schacherl said. “It wouldn’t make sense for us to continue testing every patient with a respiratory illness.”

CHEO announced on Sept. 24 it was taking extra precautions to prevent the spread of infection after three patients came down with respiratory illnesses while already in hospital.

Every fall, when children return to school, CHEO sees a spike in the number of respiratory illnesses in the emergency room. In September, visits were up seven per cent compared to

last year. About 25 per cent of visits to the ER last month were for respiratory illness, up from 16 per cent last year.

“So we’re up a bit from the last year, but not hugely out of the ordinary,” Schacherl said, adding the hospital is seeing a mix of different viruses.

With the outbreak over, the hospital no longer has special precautions in place.

“We just have ongoing infection prevention measures which do include some rules around visitors, number of visitors, hand hygiene, cleaning – all the things we do on an ongoing basis,” Schacherl said.

In cases involving severe respiratory illness, patients may be placed in isolation.

“It’s based on the actual patient and what symptoms they present, she said.

What you can do:

CHEO recommends staying home when ill, regular hand washing and using hand sanitizer.

People with breathing difficulties should visit the emergency room, but those with common cold symptoms are advised to visit a walk-in medical clinic or their family doctor.

Teach children the love of reading books early in life Lifestyle - Reading is an important life-long skill – and developing strong reading habits from an early age sets the stage for life.

“While we know that it’s important for young children have strong reading skills, getting kids to embrace reading is not always as simple,” says Nick Whitehead, the founder and CEO of Oxford Learning.

Fortunately there are several strategies that parents can take to help their kids improve both their love of reading and their reading skills.

According to Dr. Whitehead, the number one thing that parents can do to improve their child’s reading ability is to simply make books available in the home and to have a regular reading time.

He also suggests some other simple ideas to encourage reading such as going to the library together, reading books together as a family, reading a book series, or listening to audio books in the car.

For parents who have tried all the basic tips and still have difficulty getting their children to embrace reading, Dr. Whitehead suggests that parents of older children give their kids banned books or let them read above their skill level.

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities.

By Shawn Ryan, CFP, TEP Partner and Senior Insurance and Estate Planner Scrivens Insurance and Financial Solutions

Life insurance is a popular, practical way to make a significant gift to CHEO. Your donation will be wisely administered through investments which will provide a stable source of income to CHEO for years to come.

There are three main methods you can gift life insurance: by making a bequest of the proceeds of a life insurance policy through your Will; donating the policy during your lifetime at fair market value; or by naming CHEO as beneficiary and remaining as policy owner.

Here is a scenario where a mother owns purchase a permanent life insurance policy a family business and wishes to gift the for $500,000 and donate the proceeds to shares to her adult children through a charity through her Will. provision in her Will. She wants to eliminate This is a win-win for both her family and capital gains taxes of the shares payable the charity. She will own the policy during at her death.

The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities.

South Ottawa race day inspires kids, youth to think locally

walks, the five- and 10-kilometre runs and a half-marathon.

The inaugural event drew 1,000 people and last year just under that number took part. This year, the event has attracted runners from Orleans to Kanata and beyond the National Capital Region to Kingston and Toronto.

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - When Karen Hill sees children and teenagers decked out in their race T-shirts tears well up in her eyes.

Many have been saving their birthday money or have set up lemonade stands throughout the year to support South Ottawa Race Day, which Hill and her event co-organizer Karen Sinclair launched in 2012 after they lost a close friend to glioblastoma melanoma or GBM, a fast-acting brain tumour.

“It’s become something that the kids feel is their own in their community,” Hill said of the support the event has received from generations of people in Riverside South and beyond, particularly among high school students.

“It’s obviously about brain cancer but for our kids it’s more about getting involved in helping those who are less fortunate than us, promoting in our community that ‘thinking locally, acting globally’ kind of idea,” Hill said.

“We love, love, love the fact that we have so many young people participating in the event. I think it’s part of what sets us apart from other events in that we really gear ourselves to the younger population. We want them to feel that this is their event.”

The organizing committee is prepping for the thirdannual race day on Sunday, Oct. 26 at the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

About 1,300 participants have signed up for one- and two-kilometre family run/

“No matter how stressful or complicated (the race day) gets we always think of them ... They are definitely our inspiration.”

KAREN HILL

It’s still too soon to know just how much money the event will generate this year, said Hill.

“A lot of fundraising happens those last couple of weeks.”

Since its inception, South Ottawa Race Day has generated $170,000 to support GBM research.

“It’s a lot of money,” said Hill. “I’m pretty blown away by it actually. It’s hard to even fathom that that money came in – just the generosity.

“What it makes me realize is that we really did find a cause that people care about and want to put their support behind.”

Glioblastoma melanoma is considered a low-profile cancer, and part of the challenge for researchers is that it grows quickly and steals lives just as fast.

“We don’t hear about it as much and so this (event) has provided an (opportunity) that allows those people to support a particular type of cancer that has affected them personally,”

said Hill.

During South Ottawa Race Day, the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation will be teaming up with Tiny Hoppers daycare to put on a children’s activity section, where there will be games, face painting and relay races.

Runners will go through a group warm-up and then head off on their routes.

And while top finishers of each race will receive prizes ranging from RedBlacks football tickets to a three-month boot camp, among others, everyone will receive a medal and a T-shirt.

Three years ago, organizers had no idea how successful the event would become, helping bring people together in support of a worthy cause, said Hill.

Emails come in on a daily basis from people who share ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND their experiences about GBM. “Just the personal stories Children sprint across the grass at Mountain Meadows Park in Riverside South in preparamake you feel like ‘OK, this tion for the third-annual South Ottawa Race Day on Oct. 26 at Rideau Carleton Raceway. is something that’s going to continue to grow,” said Hill.

“We really kind of found our followers and feel that we owe to this lucky winner in our it to them to keep this event going so that they have a place READ CLICK WIN contest! to feel like they’re supporting the people they know who’ve been affected.”

500-bed residence approved by Carleton board of governors New building to house upper-year students Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Carleton University’s board of governors has approved a design for a new 500-bed residence.

The plan is meant to address residence needs for upper-year students and is projected to cost $52 million, funded by the university.

The last residence the university built, the Lennox and Addington Residence, was completed in 2011, adding 650 beds for students. Currently, the university has 3,600 residence beds on campus.

This building would be located north of the Leeds Residence on the corner of Parking Lot 6.

The board will approve the construction of the new residence based on the June 2015 waitlist for residence.

According to the university, the waitlist numbers can fluctuate from year to year, but

this August, prior to the start of the school year there 550 students were on a waitlist for on-campus residency.

The design of the units would be both four- and twobedroom units, with features such as a laundry room on each level, a ground floor multi-purpose common area for studying, working out and watching television.

Ground floor garbage, recycling and access to the tunnel system is also planned for the basement level. If approved construction would be complete for fall 2017.

Steel Magnolias comedy offers fun night out Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Arts - Be delicate as a flower, but tough as steel: that’s the message from the classic comedy-drama Steel Magnolias, coming to the Osgoode community centre this November from the Isle in the River theatre company.

Opening Friday, Nov. 14, the play follows six women from Louisiana who rely on each other to overcome life’s challenges with grace and humour.

Set largely in a beauty parlour where the women gather on Saturday mornings, the play follows Shelby through her decision to have a baby despite her health issues. As things fall apart, the bond between the women shines through in the form of wild humour.

“The story is really about the friendship between these women, the way they support each other when things get tough,” said Judy Beltzner, who plays Shelby’s mother M’Lynn. “They’ve got this hilarious banter.

There’s sadness in it, but even in the sadness there are hilarious moments.”

Beltzner said the play is not just a “chick flick,” nor is it as sad as the film version many remember from 1989.

She said the play makes for a great girls’ night out, or even a date night with your partner.

Even though the story is set in the 1980s, it’s got universal appeal, she added.

“I think it’s even more relevant today, when people tend to be more distant from each other, more distant from their connections,” Beltzner said. “These women are each other’s family, even though

they’re not related.”

This year’s cast is largely from the Osgoode and Rideau Township areas, although a few cast members have travelled from other parts of the city. Along with Beltzner, the cast includes Sophie Hall, Elizabeth Chant, Janice Blampied, Jennifer Orlewicz and Paula Maloney – all of whom have been working on their best southern drawl.

Director Lorraine Hopkins said the cast has worked together to showcase the best of humanity.

“This play ... demonstrates we all have an inner toughness that sees us through life’s ups and downs, with love and laughter and the support of our friends,” she said.

SCENE CHANGE

Steel Magnolias is a departure for the Osgoode theatre group, which is known for producing farces.

Beltzner said an audience survey earlier this year revealed that many of their members would like to see more traditional comedy – material that is at once thoughtprovoking and funny.

“We thought Steel Magnolias fell into that category,” Beltzner said.

The theatre company plans to still produce one farce a year, while exploring more dramatic comedies for its second production. Beltzner said the group is also considering adding a third, edgier show to the calendar each year, to appeal to a slightly different audience than their traditional demographic of middle-aged couples.

Also this year, the group has

Beltzer said the theatre’s switch to Creative Kosher Catering a few years ago has increased demand for the dinner theatre program, but adding an extra row of tables has meant it’s harder for patrons at the back to hear.

“It’s just so far back,” Beltzner said, adding that a second dinner means more patrons can enjoy the delicious buffet.

“The meal is really indescribably good.”

The menu includes several salads, dilled salmon, Mediterranean chicken, roast beef, gourmet vegetables and a vast

sea of sweets.

“There are enough desserts to provide you with calories for the rest of your life,” Beltzner said.

The Nov. 15 dinner is almost sold out, and tables are selling fast for Nov. 22.

“Don’t wait too long to get your tickets,” Beltzner said.

Tickets are $18 for a single ticket without a dinner and $48 including dinner and the show.

Tickets can be purchased at itrtheatre.com MUTT MYSTERY

Isle in the River is also branching out into the community by way of a murder mys-

tery in support of the Ottawa Therapy Dogs on Nov. 5.

Death Goes to the Dogs is a specially-written murder mystery for the fundraiser, which revolves around an award dinner for “the best dog ever,” Beltzner said.

Throughout the dinner – also catered by Creative Kosher, this time at Temple Israel near Hog’s Back – ITR actors will perform short scenes and skits in between making rounds to patrons to build their characters and drop clues.

The audience will then vote on the killer, and those who are correct are entered into a draw to win a prize.

Beltzner said the partner-

ship was something the actors “jumped at.”

She knows first-hand the value of the therapy dogs, and she and her dog Tigger go to CHEO several times a months to visit children in the trauma and surgical rehab unit.

“They have a chance to interact with Tigger and snuggle with him,” she said.

“It has been proven that stroking a dog lowers your stress, lowers your blood pressure. And kids with mobility issues are more likely reach out for the dog than for other things in their physio.”

News - Being third in the country pays off when it means you can support the charities closest to you.

On Oct. 7, Manotick’s Rexall drug store manager Greg Brown donated $5,000 each to CHEO and the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre after coming third in a nation-wide fundraising challenge.

The Rexall Foundation granted its top three stores $10,000 to donate to charities of their choice, and Brown chose to support two organizations that work closely with his five-year-old son, Jack.

Jack was born with CHARGE syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that can result in life-threatening birth defects, including complex heart defects and breathing problems, hearing loss, vision loss, and balance problems.

According to Brown, Jack has had a tracheostomy to help him breathe, and also has a feeding tube.

He can’t walk and is nonverbal.

“But he’s the happiest child you’ll ever meet,” Brown said.

Brown and his wife have relied on CHEO and the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre to help Jack through his previous 16 surgeries, and they’ll be there for him again on Oct. 22 when he has his 17th.

Brown said Jack has likely spent about a year and a half of his life in hospital, and his doctor Matthew Bromwich, who was at the cheque

presentation on Oct. 7, has “gone above and beyond” to help him.

Bromwich, an ear/nose/ throat surgeon, said part of the money will be used to finish a new healing garden at the hospital, where kids can get outside for some fresh air – and maybe even get their hands dirty in the communal vegetable gardens.

On the very day Jack was having double surgery at CHEO, Brown was down the street starting daily doses of aggressive chemotherapy to destroy the melanoma that was diagnosed three months after his son was born.

The other half of the funds will support a nurse practitioner for a new complex airways clinic, which brings doctors, therapists and caregivers of children with complex breathing cases together in one room.

At the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre, Jack has also had access to physiotherapy, occupational therapy and feeding and speech therapy since his birth.

“His progress has been astounding,” Brown said. “Without their help he wouldn’t be

thriving.”

But the Brown family has had its share of setbacks along the way.

In October 2009, on the very day Jack was having double surgery at CHEO, Brown was down the street starting daily doses of aggressive chemotherapy to destroy the melanoma that was diagnosed three months after his son was born.

“It’s been a rough ride; they almost lost me twice,” Brown said. At the time, he was given six months to live. Brown’s cancer has since been contained – he will never be in remission – but the Manotick community continues to support the family through donations in the store.

By the end of the threeweek fundraising campaign in August, the store had raised $8,700, coming third in the country and earning $10,000 to donate as Brown wished.

Throughout the journey, the Rexall Foundation has been very supportive.

Staff gifted $3,000 to “the Brown boys” through a golf tournament that year, and when they heard about Brown’s cancer diagnosis they made an immediate donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Brown said he will continue to fundraise at the store to help the organizations that have helped him – and he knows Manotick residents will support him.

“There (have been) customers coming in and crying while donating at the cash,” he said. “It’s really touching.”

Watson’s Mill makes second haunted house even creepier emma.jackson@metroland.com

Community - Legend has it that Watson’s Mill has been haunted since the death of a young bride more than 150 years ago.

Ghostly sightings, unexplained footsteps and hair-raising happenings have made the mill a popular destination for paranormal investigators for years, and staff have built on that reputation with a three-day haunting extravaganza just in time for Halloween.

The three-day haunted house had 600 people running for the exits in its first year, and now the second-annual event will extend its bony grasp to the mill’s second storey.

“Be prepared to be scared,” said education officer Cam Trueman. “We’re going to put a lot more emphasis on action.”

Beginning on Oct. 23, guests can work up the courage to wander through the Watson’s Mill maze despite the risk of running afoul of wily witches, demonic dolls and a basement full of zombies.

Trueman said the trip through the haunted house will be scarier and longer than last year’s event – adding he wants the haunting to someday take over the whole village.

“We eventually want to build this down the street,” he said. “My goal in 10 years is to have the whole village involved.”

Already the teen demographic is heavily involved, with volunteers from area high schools populating the gory grist mill and grabbing at guests as they run past. The mill has partnered with the Manotick Village Community

Association’s youth group to make the event possible.

The event runs Thursday, Oct. 23 to Saturday, Oct. 25 from 7 to 9:30 p.m.

Tickets are $5. It is not recommended for children under 10.

Historical artifact program allows students to travel back in time Discovery boxes commemorate 100th anniversary of First World War Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - After trying on a heavy metal helmet that would have been worn a century ago by a soldier just a few years older than him, Amnar Abozkar said he can’t imagine what it was like to wear the helmet in the First World War trenches.

“I’d get headaches, migraines all day,” the Grade 10 Brookfield High School student said of the heavy object, which slipped slightly when he tried it on.

The experience of trying on the war artifact allowed Abozkar to imagine himself in the boots of a Canadian soldier 100 years ago.

He was among 24 students who passed around shell casings, a nurse’s apron, soldier’s jacket and cap, a gas mask, gas alarm rattle and trench periscope, but not before trying them out or trying them on.

The authentic and replica First World War objects are among 22 items included in 25 identical discovery boxes the Canadian War Museum is making available for the first time to students in grades four to 12 across Canada.

The boxes, which commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First World War, are made possible thanks to support from individual donors and Operation Veteran, which supports educational programs at the museum and in Canadian schools.

The Supply Line kits officially launched at Brookfield High School on Thursday, Oct. 9, but schools have been reserving the boxes since Sept. 16. They are loaned out for free for two weeks and are already fully booked into December.

“In a museum all of our objects are behind glass windows so we want you to be able to handle these things, try them on, touch them and that’s the idea,” museum learning specialist Sandra O’Quinn said before guid-

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Grade 10 Brookfield High School students Adnan Memic, left, and Amnar Abozkar dress up in First World War clothing and equipment and reenact war recruiting posters during the Canadian War Museum’s launch of its discovery box program for Canadian students on Oct. 9. ing the Brookfield students through the lesson plan.

Just before handing out the treasures, she encouraged the teens to ask questions and make observations in order to teach them to think like a historian.

In addition to the artifacts, the boxes come with learning materials and lesson plans.

Grade 10 students Amnar Abozkar and Zina Benazzouz, both 15 years old, enjoyed the experience of going beyond the textbook.

“In history class we usually get

like paperwork, but when we see it hands on you get the feeling how it was a long time ago,” Abozkar said, adding that the lessons they learned through the discovery boxes built on what he and his classmates already studied in class.

“You get to see what people used in the past,” Benazzouz agreed.

The kit also included an album of photos and other keepsakes from the war that once belonged to a 19-yearold soldier with Canada’s militia who eagerly signed up to fight and was shipped overseas.

Will van Allen, from Saskatchewan, chronicled his journey with camera in hand until he was badly wounded and sent home.

His private photos are O’Quinn’s favourite part of the discovery boxes.

“It’s not as flashy as the gas alarm rattle,” she said with a laugh, but she relishes the moments the amateur photographer captured on film and the detail he put into his captions.

“His captions are hilarious,” said O’Quinn. “He’s got pictures of sheep and the caption says, ‘The savage

beasts of Salisbury Plains.’”

Inside each treasure box are laminated photographs that depict how the items were used during the war.

This came in handy when the students were handed long strips of brown cloth. Working in pairs, each student wound the strips around their partner’s arm.

“It looks like a bandage,” Grade 10 student Alex Ray said.

But when handed the photo of a young soldier sitting on the side of the road, the students quickly zeroed in on the soldier’s legs wrapped in the cloth strips, and quickly figured out the material was part of his uniform.

“So it shows the object being used during the First World War,” O’Quinn said. “Those photos are an artifact in themselves because they represent official Canadian war records.”

Another student squealed and jumped in surprise as her classmate swung a wooden object resembling a New Year’s noisemaker. Everyone winced but immediately wanted a turn as Grade 12 student Tyler Watungwa created a sharp staccato sound, replicating the noise that warned soldiers a gas attack was imminent and they needed to don their gas masks.

“We knew we had a great product and we were hoping that it would resonate with students,” O’Quinn said of the popular artifacts.

Grade 10 teacher Dori-Anne Leafloor, who is also Brookfield’s department head of Canadian world studies and business and computer studies, was pleasantly surprised with the students’ enthusiasm for the historical pieces.

“This is why I teach because I love when the students are engaging and asking questions,” she said.

“They’ve made connections to work that we had done earlier in the week in terms of what life was like in the trenches,” Leafloor said. “And now with the artifacts, they’re able to ask questions that they weren’t able to earlier, just by being able to touch and see and have that experience.”

Bridge could speed up high school timeline in Riverside South Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

In order to move up the construction date for a new high school, proponents need â&#x20AC;&#x153;to stage the conversation rightâ&#x20AC;? to put the community in the best possible position to ensure the school is higher up on the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priority list, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think if we did our homework and work with some of the communities on the other side of the Strandherd bridge, and connect those communities in a stronger way, I think we can make the case that we can get the numbers right to open that school in five to six years as opposed to seven or eight,â&#x20AC;? said Fisher.

A new high school would shrink commute times for youth who have to travel to schools outside Riverside South, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think having your kids bused out to Merivale High School is too far,â&#x20AC;? the trustee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want a more local school,â&#x20AC;? said Fisher, adding that others have traded in the English public school board for the Catholic school board, specifically at St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School in Riverside South.

He and Yasir Naqvi, Ottawa-Centre MPP, will soon approach members of provincial parliament and Ontario Education Minister Liz Sandals to request education development surcharges, which are fees collected on new developments, be

used to purchase land for new schools rather than continue to go into the general revenue stream.

By adding those dollars to the capital fund, there will be more money to build and renovate new schools sooner, Fisher said.

Findlay Creek school

Land is zoned and ready for a new elementary school in Findlay Creek. Right now, the project is in the permit phase and a request-for-proposals will be issued to hire an architec-

tural firm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We allocated $1.3 million in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget to do all the pre-design work and permitting work with the city to get that project shovel-ready,â&#x20AC;? said Fisher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So with Findlay Creek, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of the province just providing its funding for the project, and we anticipate that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to come soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it would have happened last year, but there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough money for the Ottawa board to fund it, so I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting pretty close,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The hope is the province will announce in February when the

new kindergarten to Grade 8 school will be constructed.

The booming population of the community coupled with the fact that Elizabeth Park Public School will be given back to the Department of National Defence in 2017 makes a new school essential, said Fisher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next closest school is Sawmill Creek in Blossom Park,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the kids in Elizabeth Park would be repatriated back to those schools but the large majority would go to a new school in Findlay Creek because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from.â&#x20AC;?

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A new high school could come to Riverside South sooner than anticipated if parents in Nepean, Barrhaven and Manotick send their children to school in the growing community, according to the public school trustee for Zone 7.

Current projections peg the construction of a new $25- to $30-million high school at seven to eight years from now, and a new $13- to $15-million elementary school could be built there within the next three or four years, said Mark Fisher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now Riverside South on its own doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a big enough population to fill a high school,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The population of Riverside South currently stands at 14,000, but there needs to be about 25,000 to generate the 1,000 students needed to justify opening a new secondary school on land already purchased at Spratt and Earl Armstrong roads.

But with the opening this summer of the StrandherdArmstrong bridge, the timelines for construction could be moved up because the river is no longer a barrier, said Fisher, who discussed the issue with about 50 parents at Rideauview Community Centre in Riverside South on Oct. 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity

to reach across the bridge and try and grab the numbers you might need in the short term to build that high school,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We might be able to make the numbers work within five or six years.

Barrhaven communities that could use the new school include those around Farley Mowat Public School, Adrienne Clarkson Elementary School and Longfields-Davidson Heights. Manotick could also benefit from the new school, Fisher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity to talk to them about how they could drive to Riverside South and be part of a new high school, which could help maybe get you to the numbers faster.â&#x20AC;?

Though a new addition will be built at Longfields-Davidson Heights, the grade 7 to 12 school is feeling the â&#x20AC;&#x153;stresses and strainsâ&#x20AC;? of growth, said Fisher, who is seeking re-election in the municipal race for English public school board trustee for Zone 7.

There is also a sense of urgency around the construction of a new elementary school in Riverside South, which Fisher said could happen in three to four years.

Even with last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction of additional classrooms, Steve MacLean Public School is over capacity. That pressure must be relieved, Fisher said.

Sports - The Kanata Lasers game against Pembroke was to be a measuring stick for the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new coach, as he began his tenure with Kanataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first match against Pembroke almost four weeks ago.

Instead of measuring the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress, head coach Gregg Kennedy got a throwaway game where the Lasers failed to show up, resulting in a 9-1 loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just came out flat and it got worse,â&#x20AC;? said Kennedy. ! But Kanataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subsequent game against Nepean, along with last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts contain the building blocks of a better team, he said.

The Lasers game against the Pembroke Lumber Kings on Oct. 7 was a case of a poor start, bad bounces, and crumbling confidence, said Kennedy.

See you at the game.

tie in the first period and then take the lead in the second, kick-starting 30 minutes of strong play, said Kennedy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some offensive zone time, we were able to establish a forecheck at times ... and we played better,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Kanata found themselves with a challenge: win the third period and win the game.

The lasers faltered early, allowing the Raiders to score 30 seconds into the period, which Nepean followed up with two more goals, ending the game with a score of 5-2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The takeaway is that there was a good, solid 30 minutes (of play),â&#x20AC;? said Kennedy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The take-away is we had a 2-1 lead in the second period against a pretty good hockey club. You take that game and you take the game against Gloucester (on Oct. 3), those are two games where we held the opposition to one goal for a good portion of the game,â&#x20AC;? he said.

On October 23rd, the Kanata Lasers will be holding a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pink the Rinkâ&#x20AC;? night!

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had three (goals) go in off of our own sticks in the first period, a deflection here, a deflection there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were down 4-0 in a hurry and you really canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fault the goaltender, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fault people in the right places, but it just goes to show the importance of how bodies should be in shooting lanes and sticks should be in passing lanes, not the other way around.â&#x20AC;?

Kennedy doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attribute the loss of the game to bad bounces, however. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did not play well enough to win, whether the three pucks went in off our own sticks in the first period or not,â&#x20AC;? he said. But the game does show the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fragile confidence at this point in their development, he said.

The Lasers game against the Nepean Raiders was another story. Though Kanata started slow again with the Raiders taking the first goal of the game, the Lasers managed to

Regular screening can prevent colon cancer Regular screening for colorectal cancer suggested News — Colorectal or colon cancer is one of the most common, yet highly preventable, cancers.

According to reports, however, half of colorectal cases are still being diagnosed in the late stages. In Canada, there are about 9,000 deaths

from the disease each year and it’s the third most commonly diagnosed cancer.

How, then, does one help prevent it?

Dr. Mario Castelli, a gastroenterologist, offers a few suggestions: • If you are concerned, speak with your doctor.

Colon cancer doesn’t typically have any symptoms.

As the disease progresses, however, symptoms may include thin stools, cramping, unexplained weight loss and

bloody stools.

• Watch what you eat.

High-fibre diets have been shown to help prevent colon cancer.

• Stay active. Exercise plays an important preventive role and has been shown to reduce the risk by as much as 40 per cent.

• Know your family roots.

Your family medical history can shed light on important information that can impact your chances of developing colon cancer.

If family members have had polyps or colon cancer, be sure to discuss this with your doctor.

• Butt out. Smoking can be blamed for many health conditions, and you can add colon cancer to that long list.

Most importantly, however, Castelli recommends regular screening.

“Colorectal cancer is a completely preventable disease if we screen for it — and it gets more common as we get older.

This is why, starting at the age of 50, it is recommended that everyone be screened,” he explains.

More than 90 per cent of people diagnosed with colon cancer are age 50 or older and the average age of diagnosis is 64.

While there are a variety of screening tests available, preparing for them can be inconvenient since fasting, diet restrictions or the collection of stool samples is required.

But a new simple blood test,

known as Cologic, offers all of us access to a quicker and simpler screening process.

More information about the new screening test can be found at www.cologiclabtest. com.

Experts suggest that preventative screening and early detection can save lives, so it is recommended that all adults speak with their family physician about the right time to get screened for colorectal cancer.

Explosion rocks Greely, destroys home and barn Joe Morin and Emma Jackson joe.morin@metroland.com

News - A vacant home on Stagecoach Road in Greely that exploded into a second alarm fire on the evening of Oct. 9 is completely destroyed, as well as a detached garage and barn.

Ottawa Fire Services were called to the scene at 1934 Stagecoach Rd. at around 8:30 p.m. Firefighters began a defensive attack and representatives from police, paramedics and Hydro One were also on scene.

Fire department spokesman Marc Messier said on the morning of Oct. 10 that it’s unclear if anyone was injured in the explosion, which residents said was heard as far away as Metcalfe.

“There’s no evidence that there was anybody hurt, but there are still sections we have not been able to access,” Messier said.

“So are we 100 per cent sure that nobody got hurt? No.” He was also unable to put a dollar figure on the damage, which destroyed the recentlysold home and garage, and left only the shell of the barn still standing.

Neighbour Robert Roberts, who lives across the road from the entrance to the home, said the noise of the explosion and the shockwave it created was alarming.

“We were just getting ready for supper last night when it happened,” he said. “It almost blew my window out. The window actually bulged in about three inches.”

Roberts said it felt more like a natural event.

“The last time I felt something like that was when there was an earthquake centred in Carsonby near North Gower back in the 1980s,” he said.

According to Roberts, the explosions continued for about 10 minutes – and then all anyone could see was smoke and fire.

By Friday morning, there was still a layer of smoke drifting over the area and a pillar of smoke rising from the general area of the farm, although media could not get closer than the start of the property’s long laneway.

Another neighbour, living next to Roberts who did not want to be named, said the noise from the explosion was deafening.

“For a moment I thought that my furnace had exploded,” said the neighbour. There were still debris such as insulation and wood on both front yards that had come from the destroyed farm, about a hundreds of metres away.

“I didn’t know what it was so I ran to the back of the house,” she said.

Roberts said friends in Metcalfe several kilometres away heard the blast.

Ottawa fire investigators were beginning a preliminary investigation on Oct. 10, but Messier said they were waiting for police inJOE MORIN/METROLAND vestigators to arrive on scene before an official joint investigation could get underway. Stagecoach Road is quiet on the morning of Friday, Oct. 10 after an explosion rocked the “Because of the explosion we have to get a area near Greely the evening before. The cause of fire is still under investigation. lot of parties involved,” Messier said, including the police arson unit.

Homes for the Holidays kicks off holiday season Home tour adds Kanata features Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Hospice Care Ottawa is ready to kick off this year’s holiday season with its annual home tour fundraiser.

“Homes for the Holidays has become a tradition,” said Jane Panet, honourary chairwoman of this year’s tour. “We are delighted that this year’s tour offers so many new exciting features. But what remains the same is the important reason why our hundreds of volunteers work so hard to make this beautiful home tour such a wonderful experience - they’re all dedicated to ensuring that the essential services provided

by Hospice Care Ottawa remain available to the public.”

Now in its 12th year, the Homes for the Holidays tour invites Ottawa residents to tour extravagant homes across the city from Kanata to Rockcliffe Park this year.

From Nov. 14 to 16, people will have the opportunity to view the many different homes on the list, including the chance to stop by the residence of the Irish ambassador to purchase holiday crafts, jewelry, children’s toys, as well as savoury preserves from local artisans.

In addition to the homes, the organizers have also added a few new features to the tour, including the opportunity to tour Hospice Care Ottawa’s newest facility in Kanata, the RudyShenkman Hospice, where holiday shoppers can bid on hand-made wreaths.

SUBMITTED

Hospice Care Ottawa will hold its annual Homes for the Holidays fundraising tour Nov. 14-16 at eight locations across the city. A new feature of this year’s tour will be the chance to visit the Rudy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata.

The Orange Gallery will also open its doors, showcasing different holiday table settings as well as the chance to win one of local artists Gayle Kells original paintings.

Last year, the event helped raise enough money to offer

Dr. Corrine Motluk

patients 425 days of hospice care, or $170,000 for the hospice.

Each home will be decorated for the festive season, including floral arrangements from flower shops across the city.

According to the hospice,

more than 500 volunteers help out with this annual fundraiser, from greeters at the homes or helping out at the holiday shop.

Tickets for the tour are $50.

The price includes the gallery, the Rudy-Shenkman Hospice

and the Holiday Popup Shop at the Irish ambassador’s home in Rockcliffe Park, in any order over the three-day event.

Maugham’s Jack Straw opens at Linden House on Oct. 24 Play welcomes Ottawa actor Steve Martin to the stage Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

French school boards aim to build cultural awareness Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - More than 250 educators from three different French school boards and a local college gathered to learn about First Nations, Inuit and Metis culture in an effort to better teach future generations.

The seminar on Oct. 9 at the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health was organized through collaboration by the Le Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est (CECCE), le Conseil des écoles publiques de l Est de l Ontario (CEPEO), le Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l Est ontarien (CSDCEO) and La Cité Collegiale.

Those in attendance had the opportunity to hear from a number of speakers, all showcasing a different area of culture and history and addressed

topics such as reconciliation, education, culture, spirituality, arts and music from First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples.

Guy Dubois, executive director of educational services for the CECCE, said this workshop is about making sure every student who attends their schools feels as though they belong.

“We want to see this awareness across the curriculum, let them see that in everyday life, First Nations, Inuit or Metis -that is who they are,” Dubois said.

Dubois added he believes a workshop such as this one will inspire all the staff and educators in attendance to make this part of daily programming.

The collaboration also brings a college s voice to the table. La Cité s Lorraine Seguin said for the college, this event helps offer the

Koperqualuk attended a joint culture symposium organized by the French Catholic School Board Central East (CECCE), Conseil des écoles publiques de l’Est de l’Ontario (CEPEO), the Catholic School Board of Eastern Ontario District (CSDCEO) and La Cité to help build First Nation, Inuit and Metis cultural awareness in the three school boards and college.

Arts -This fall, Linden House invites theatre-goers to see what falling in love was all about in the early 1900s.

Starting Oct. 24 at Elmwood School’s theatre, New Edinburgh’s Linden House will open Jack Straw, a romantic comedy set in 1905.

The play involves a young waiter who falls in love and disguises himself as a Pomeranian archduke to win his lady’s heart.

Linden House founder Janet Uren said Jack Straw, written

by Somerset Maugham, is perfect for the theatre company.

“This is our kind of play, one that combines sheer silliness with some good, satirical jabs at the British class system,” Uren said.

Fall always created some special smells on the farm

M

y older and much wiser sister Audrey said it was all in

my head.

I had discussed it with her at length one Saturday while we were doing our weekly chores.

That morning we were upstairs changing beds, dusting the floor with the rag mop, and wiping the windowsills with a damp cloth.

It was a time I cherished because it meant I had my sister all to myself, even if she was in a hurry to get finished so that she could visit with her best friend Iva on the next farm. And so I asked her again. “Audrey, why does fall smell different than other times of the year?”

That’s when she told me it was all in my head. I certainly didn’t want to argue with my sister. After all, she was much older than I was, and as far as I was concerned was just about the smartest girl in all of Renfrew County. So I decided I would not mention it again.

I would just go on believing in my heart that fall smelled differently from any other time of the year.

MARY COOK Memories All I had to do was stand at the back door, put my head outside and breathe deeply.

The big maple tree had shed all its leaves, and I could smell them. No one could convince me that there was no smell from them – it was a mixture of damp ground and dried leaves. I would fill my nostrils with the scent and marvel. I would wonder if I was the only one who noticed there was a difference between the smells of summer and fall. The frost would come and I knew the smell outside would change again.

I knew without a doubt that the smoke from the cook stove was different once the colder weather came.

At no other time of the year did I notice the wonderful smell of burning logs as I watched the smoke curl above the roof of the house.

And I would wonder why.

When I went into the barns at night, they certainly didn’t smell like they did in the heat of the summer.

The cows gave off a warmth and it filled the barn, and the aroma of the hay from the loft wafted down. Even the straw in each stall had what I called a cold weather smell.

When I mentioned this to my sister Audrey, she said it was just my imagination playing tricks on me. It was all in my head, she said.

The inside of our house smelled different too. The windows were shut tight, and trapped inside were the smells of gum rubbers, propped against the woodbox beside the Findlay Oval, and the musty smell of winter coats hanging at the back door. I could smell wool.

Potato, mushroom frittata great use for leftover potatoes Lifestyle - Here is a tasty way to use up leftover cooked potatoes. Serve for breakfast, brunch or a light supper. Preparation time: 10 minutes. Cooking time: 18 to 21 minutes. Serves four.

Ingredients

• 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil • 1 onion, diced • 250 ml (1 cup) sliced mushrooms • 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) chopped cooked peeled potatoes • 250 ml (1 cup) diced ham • 8 eggs • 25 ml (2 tbsp) milk • 5 ml (1 tsp) Dijon mustard • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) dried thyme leaves • pinch each salt and pepper • 125 ml (1/2 cup) grated aged cheddar cheese

“That was way to easy!”

Preparation

In an ovenproof 25-centimetre (10-inch) skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook until the vegetables are softened, about four minutes. Stir in the potatoes and ham and heat through, for about 2 minutes, stirring often. Spread the mixture to make even layer.

In medium bowl, beat to-

gether the eggs, milk, mustard, thyme, salt and pepper.

Carefully pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tipping it to spread the egg mixture evenly.

Cover and cook over medium-low heat, without stirring, until the eggs are almost set, but still moist on the surface, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Adjust the oven rack so it is about 10 centimetres (four inches) below the broiler element.Turn on the broiler to high. Scatter cheese evenly over the frittata and broil until the cheese has melted and is golden and bubbly – about two to three minutes.

Let stand a few minutes before serving.

Tip: If skillet handle is plastic, wrap it in a double layer of foil.

Scents of the season included wool Continued from page 81

Everywhere there was wool – in the hats and mitts at the ready for the winter in a basket under the bake table, there was wool.

Certainly, these things were nowhere to be seen in the summer.

So how could my sister Audrey say it was all in my head? I would wonder why she too didn’t notice the smell of fall.

By the time we were well into October, Mother would have put out the braided rugs that had spent the summer rolled up in layers of the Renfrew Mercury and kept under our beds.

They too had the smell of fall on them.

There would be the faint aroma of wool and from the papers, and they would add to that special tinge to my nose that told me the season had changed.

The smells of summer were gone, and the smells of fall were around me.

By that time of year, our summer clothes would be changed to warmer skirts and sweaters.

By that time of year, our summer clothes would be changed to warmer skirts and sweaters.

They had been packed away in a trunk over the hot weather, with hands full of mothballs scattered between the layers.

It mattered not how long Mother hung each piece out on the clothesline, she was never able to completely get rid of the smell of the mothballs.

They too had the smell of fall.

So, it mattered not how much my older and wiser sister Audrey said it was all in my head.

I knew without a doubt, this time of year there was a special smell all around me.

It came in gusts outside, and hung inside our old log house, and stayed in my nostrils, bringing me a special feeling of warmth and contentment.

At that young age, I decided it was my favourite time of the year. There was no doubt about it.

Fall had come at last – hadn’t my nose told me so?

Don’t let a fall get you down • If you have a pet such as a cat or dog, consider putting a bell or reflector on its collar. It’s easy to stumble across an affectionate or sleeping pet that’s in your path.

• Take your time. If you frequently find yourself rushing to pick-up the phone, consider investing in a cordless phone that you can keep near you. Don’t rush to answer the door. The visitor will wait.

• Always sit down to put on or take off shoes and clothing. Place a chair or bench near the entrance.

• Keep hallways and stairs free of grandchildren’s toys.

• Wear shoes or slippers with non-slip soles indoors. That means you might have to give up that pair of loose, comfy slippers with the worn soles.

• Ask for help if you need it. Most people like to lend a hand.

Lifestyle- Debilitating falls are a major issue for older people.

Every year, one in three Canadians over the age of 65 will take a fall – often with serious consequences.

Injuries such as hip, wrist and pelvic fractures are common in this age group and can have a lasting impact on an individual’s quality of life.

There are easy things that can be done to help however.

Most falls happen in the home, so that is the first place to start taking precautions. Your physical health is also important. Talk to a health professional, such as a chiropractor, about evaluating your risks. A few steps of prevention can help you stay safely on your feet, as follows: • Remove your reading glasses when you are walking. Always slip them off before you take a step.

• Never climb on a chair or stool to reach something. Always ask for assistance.

How to enjoy winter activities with less pain knee pain can be challenging. What may pose even more difficult is finding a safe and effective way to alleviate the pain so that they can continue to stay active.

The most common kind of arthritis, OA is a progressive, degenerative disease of the joint. In the knee, tissues are unable to repair themselves, causing cartilage and bone to erode, resulting in stiffness, swelling and severe pain in the joints.

With time, the condition can result in chronic pain, so speaking with a doctor or specialist is critical to ensure that a pain management plan is established.

“Ongoing pain and stiffness in the knees should not be ignored or accepted as a sign of aging.

If someone finds they can barely walk upstairs, let alone participate in the activities they once enjoyed, it is important they speak to their doctor as it could be the result of a serious condition that requires treatment,”

says Dr. Philip Baer, rheumatologist. “Developing an individualized treatment plan can help patients better manage their pain so they can get on with their lives.”

Following these tips can help you better manage OA knee pain – so that you can get back to enjoying the activities you’d like to do this winter: Shed the pounds: If you are carrying excess weight, adjusting your diet to include more servings of fruits and vegetables and lower-calorie foods, for example, can help you slim down.

Losing just 10 lbs can take pressure off knee joints, reduce pain and help improve overall physical function.

Get moving: Exercise and physiotherapy can help improve muscle strength and joint stability.

Low impact movement, such as practicing yoga and engaging in meditative activities, can also help you cope with pain. Do be mindful of your physical limita-

tions and work within them, so as not to over-exert your sensitive knees.

Talk the talk — so you can walk the walk. Speak with your doctor to learn about the options available to relieve pain and improve functionality. An open dialogue will help you to better understand your condition— and best treatment option.

There are a number of over-the-counter medications, such as acetaminophen

and ibuprofen, which can help relieve OA knee pain.

Prior to taking any medication, always consult with your healthcare provider.

If non-prescription medications are ineffective, your doctor might recommend a new treatment option for OA knee pain called a serotonin– norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). Some SNRIs are safe and effective oral medications that can help turn down the volume of the

pain and are well-tolerated.

When discussing treatment options, be sure to discuss the pros and cons of each type, including side effects and possible addictive properties.

Brace yourself: Wearing a knee sleeve or brace is shown to provide relief from inflammation and joint pain, and can provide some added support during activities.

Lifestyle - The winter months offer no shortage of fun-filled seasonal activities.

Unfortunately, many Canadians are sidelined from participating in the things they might normally like to do this time of year, such as cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, indoor tennis or even going away on vacation.

People with chronic pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, for example, often avoid even simple things such as visiting family and friends over the holidays.

Chronic pain is persistent, often lasting more than three months.

When associated with OA of the knee, the pain can be debilitating, compromising mobility and leaving sufferers feeling susceptible to injuries — and isolated from getting out and doing the things they enjoy.

For the 10 per cent of Canadians the Arthritis Society of Canada says are living with OA, managing chronic

Building blocks four your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain health News - Experts across the globe suggest that lifestyle factors play a significant role in the brain health of people of all ages, including children.

Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and a fellow of the American College of Nutrition and the author of Raise a Smarter Child

by Kindergarten says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents have the opportunity to give their children

the tools needed to help maintain a healthy mind early in life. By incorporating the four dimensions of positive brain health into their daily activities, including physical exercise, good nutrition, mental engagement and social connectedness, children will be positioned to have a wellnourished and mentally-active mind throughout life.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Building block 1: Get moving.

Engaging in physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day encourages new brain cells and connections to form. Playing catch, hiking or swimming, are ways for the entire family to exercise together. â&#x20AC;˘ Building block 2: Nourish the body and mind. Maximize your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intake of DHA, the fatty acid that makes up 97 percent of the omega-3s in the brain.

Find it in fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel) or, if your child doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like fish, look for it in Dairyland Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;il Ones yogurt (lilones.ca/products. php), in Natrel Baboo milk (natrel. ca/en/baboo) and in Sunrise Soya SuperSqueezies (sunrise-soya.com/ super-squeezies).

All of these foods and beverages are fortified with a vegetarian and sustainable source of DHA from al-

gae. â&#x20AC;˘ Building block 3: Embrace new activities. Continually challenge their brains inside and outside of school through activities such as reading or playing games. Creative pursuits like dancing, painting, learning a new language or skill, will help keep your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind active.
