EMC news - One Kanata woman has started a day program for teenagers and adults with developmental delays, but she says more are needed for those with autism. Simy Illouze launched the Kanata Language Arts Program in 2011 to address what she calls a gap in services for high-needs adults when she couldn’t find a day course that suited her son, Rafael. Now, 22, Rafael is an autistic adult with limited options when it comes to educational opportunities, said Illouze. “Until he was 21 years of age, Rafael attended the public school system…Just before his high school graduation, like all parents before me, I embarked upon the search for a day program for him,” she said. “This is Canada, not the USA; unfortunately we don’t have day programs for adults with autism only.” She said she only found two programs in Ottawa with an educational component, but attendees had to be able to function in a ratio of one
worker for every nine participants. “That’s their criteria. It leaves a lot of people unable to attend,” she said. “I was told that if my son was to ever have a meltdown, the kind that many adults with autism can still have, they would want permission to medicate as they neither had the proper staff ratio nor the expertise in the field to manage outbursts and behaviours. “We do have programs for children with autism only. There are many private programs. But there’s nothing for adults or teens.” So Illouze decided to create her own program. Participants must attend with a support person, or a minimum ratio of one worker to two attendees for those who can function more independently. PROGRAM PROBLEM
Diana Gibbons ran into the same problem of finding a day program that suited her autistic 22-year-old son Christopher. See AUTISM, page 11

Michael Federchuk. “I had always intended to run again for the (next) election,” said Boothby. “I saw that they were looking for candidates. I thought that was the perfect
fit. This way when the election comes around (in 2014) I will be able to have two years experience.” See BOOTHBY, page 4

Fitzroy Harbour man faces sex charges Wife says charges come as a shock Derek Dunn Derek.dunn@metroland.com
EMC news – The wife of a former Sunday school teacher charged with sex and weapons-related crimes vows to stick by her man. Fitzroy Harbour’s Paul Laframbroise, 73, was charged this week by the Ottawa police sexual assault and child abuse unit. He faces a number of charges, including but not limited to: sexual assault, invitation to sexual touching, sexual interference, sexual exploitation, uttering threats, and a variety of weapons offences. Police say an investigation began when a complainant came forward to disclose
PAUL LAFRAMBROISE alleged past sexual abuse. Throughout the course of the investigation it has become evident that there are a number of victims involved, according to police. Police say the alleged incidents took place within the last two years. Laframboise was arrested
on Oct. 19. He appeared in court on Oct. 22, and was remanded into custody until Wednesday, Oct. 24, as additional charges were expected. His long-time wife Joyce said she is shocked and had no idea anything was amiss until police put him in handcuffs. On Tuesday, when news broke of the charges, she was reached at her home while media set up outside. “I wasn’t expecting all this. They are trying to get him,” she said, referring to media. “My husband is a good man, as far as I’m concerned. He has never hurt me and he never would.” Joyce said that after 52 years of marriage a woman knows her husband fairly well, and that Paul is a moral person. “I’ve never doubted my husband,” she said. “I’ll love
him and I’ll be with him no matter what.” Fitzroy Harbour, West Carleton and Kanata areas are the communities where Laframboise was a Sunday school teacher. At one time he was a member of the West Carleton Christian Assembly. No one at the church was available for comment prior to press deadline. Laframboise has appeared on CTV’s Regional Contact and in the Sept. 27, 2012 issue of the West Carleton Review EMC promoting his handmade bows and arrows. In the story, he said the couple try to help others, adore children and that they have sponsored children around the world for more than 30 years through organizations such as World Vision. Const. Mark Soucy said investigators are looking for
more information. “We believe there may be more victims, so we are sending out a public appeal,” Soucy said. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ottawa police sexual assault/child abuse section at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944 or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477 (TIPS) or toll free at 1-800-222-8477.

Arts program for youth will develop leadership
KBCA seeking community builders Association to host membership drive in November Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC news - The Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association is hoping to inspire some new community builders to step forward. After concentrating on a number of development issues, the association is turning its attention to building the community spirit, said KBCA director and membership drive co-ordinator Beata Myhill. “That is the real essence of Beaverbrook,� she said. “There is no point saving the physical environment of the place we live, if we do not support and build the social environment we live in.� The community association hosts a number of events over the course of a year and supports various community groups, such as the Scouts, the Kanata Food Cupboard, and the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. COMMUNITY BUILDERS

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND
The Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association, which hosts monthly meetings at the Beaverbrook Community Centre, is hoping to boost its membership base and inspire residents to come forward with new ideas to get behind. said the KBCA is looking for residents with new ideas to step forward. “We’re looking at people to bring us proposals,� she said. “What we’re looking for is to bring in new community builders. We’re looking for people who want to champion something. Our role will be to help them make it happen. “We want to empower people.� The KBCA also has room for groups to rent space at the community centre, located at 2 Beaverbrook Rd. “We want to be a clearing house to enable residents to say ‘You know what, I’d like
to start a play group,’� said Myhill. Beaverbrook has seen an influx of new and young families moving into the area. “When we moved here 30 years ago we were the young families, we were the second wave,� said Myhill. “Now in the last two years, we now have 14 young preschoolers on our street. And it’s wonderful. They’re the new wave.� She said people are attracted to Beaverbrook because of “the feel of the community� and the association is hoping to attract some fresh ideas. “They like the feel of the community but we want them
to understand explicitly why it works,� said Myhill. “We need to support them and let them know this is part of what they bought, it’s not just the house.� The KBCA will be hosting its membership drive around the beginning of November with members going door-todoor, said Myhill. It costs $10 to join and the funds stay in the community. “I would say it’s just a small amount of money that makes a big difference for the community,� she said.

EMC news - Thanks to a $199,000 grant from Ontario Trillium Foundation to the arts organization MASC, artistic programs will be more accessible to street-involved and homeless youth in Ottawa for the next three years. Leadership through the Arts is a new project led by MASC in partnership with the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa (YSB) and the Toronto-based arts group SKETCH, which creates art-making opportunities for young people living on the streets. “This program engages youth who have many risk factors and offers much needed support,� said Joanne
Lowe, executive director of the Youth Services Bureau. “The arts allow young people to express their stories, build on their strengths and develop self-esteem.� Leadership through the Arts will offer workshops for YSB clients in art forms like slam poetry, drumming, improvisation and visual arts. Under the new grant, the program will go a step further by training youth leaders to organize and promote arts activities to their peers. “The Leadership through the Arts program will be of enormous benefit to youthat-risk in our community,� said Yasir Naqvi, MPP of Ottawa Centre.

Boothby will be a good trustee, said board chair Jennifer Mackenzie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has extensive experience in the zone,â&#x20AC;? said Mackenzie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has a good understanding of the issues in Kanta north and Kanata south and she has a good set of skills she can bring to the table.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be great.â&#x20AC;? Boothby took more than 40 per cent of the vote when she ran for Kanata trustee in 2010, noted Mackenzie. Boothby was to be sworn in as a trustee during a ceremony at the board on Oct. 23. Curry resigned as Kanata trustee last summer, saying she was tired of serving on what she called a dysfunctional school board. Before she left, Curry sent a letter to Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy minister of education, calling for sweeping legislative changes to trusteesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decisionmaking powers as well as for an investigation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;abuses of powerâ&#x20AC;? by trustees at the Ottawa public board. Curry, who was first elected in 2006 and again in 2010, submitted her resignation after the school board completed two accommodation reviews in Kanata last spring and approved a plan aimed
ing months to get up to speed on current issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just interested in getting my feet under me quickly so I can be of service to Kanata,â&#x20AC;? she said. Boothby said she will draw on her 20 years of experience working as a contracts and program manager in the hightech industry. She said she has risk-management experience working in private industry, a skill targeted by the school board that will help her evaluate programs and projects put before trustees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First of all you can identify the risk when you go forward with a program and rate the risk as an acceptable risk or an unacceptable risk,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always done even in all my volunteer jobs.â&#x20AC;? Boothby has served as director of operations for Kanata Soccer and manager of the Kanata Sports Club. The stay-at-home mom has a daughter enrolled at Bell High School.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC news - ’Tis the season to create a little Christmas cheer for boys and girls in developing and war-torn areas of the world. The Children’s Shopping Village is being held at The Bridge Church, located at 285 Didsbury Rd., on Saturday, Oct. 27, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Participants are invited to fill backpacks with gifts that will be delivered during the holiday season. “We’ve got so much stuff,” said volunteer Roslyn Tegano, who has been a part of the organization since it began in Stittsville about eight years ago. “It started with a little guy’s eighth birthday, his
name is Patrick Phillipson, and he wanted to have kids to his birthday party to pack a shoebox; he didn’t want any gifts.” After the first event was so successful, Tegano and Christine Phillipson, Patrick’s mother, decided to see if others wanted to take part. “The next year we decided to see if anyone else wanted to come and participate,” said Tegano. “We just thought maybe we could up it a little bit and make it a little better. “It just kept getting bigger and bigger every year.” They decided to switch from using shoeboxes to sending drawstring knapsacks that can be reused by the recipients. “They’re water resistant and
reflect at night,” said Tegano. Participants pay a $20 flat fee when they enter the Children’s Shopping Village, which helps cover the cost of purchasing the items and for shipping. “You choose a red or green backpack,” said Tegano. “Also included is a bar of soap, toothbrush, comb and washcloth.” Then participants choose nine other gifts from hundreds of available items, which could be school supplies, clothes or toys, like stuffed animals and beach balls. “You have to have the fun things,” said Tegano. Children in six countries will receive gifts from the organization: Uruguay, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Haiti, and Guinea-Bissau. “The countries that they’re going to, they don’t even have Christmas,” said Tegano.

The city is currently only focusing on residential waste collection and has yet to roll out the green-bin program to apartment buildings.

R0031654815
EMC news - City council may ask residents if they are OK with a four-bag limit on garbage day. Garbage collection will switch permanently to a biweekly schedule on Oct. 29, meaning trash will be collected every two weeks year round, while organics and recycling bins will be picked up weekly. The move is an effort to bring Ottawa closer to its landfill diversion goal, but it won’t be easy to reduce garbage if the city continues to allow people to put out six bags of trash every two weeks, Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume told the environment committee on Oct. 16. Right now, households are allowed to put out three bags each week, and that number was simply doubled with the collection changes. That’s a high number of bags that no other municipality that offers organics recycling allows, Hume said. Switching to biweekly pickup is expected to divert an additional 10,000 to 20,000 tonnes of organic waste from the landfill, said Dixon Weir, the city’s general manager of environmental services. That will boost the diversion rate from the current 44 per cent to
around 54 per cent. But that still leaves Ottawa 15,000 tonnes short of its 60 per cent diversion target, said Rainer Bloess, the councillor for Innes Ward. “It’s going to undermine our drive to make maximum use of the investment we’ve made in our green bin,” he said. “We’re afraid to take the big step and say we need to do this because it’s the right thing to do.” Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Information can be found at ottawa.ca/en/garbage_recycle/. As of last Monday, four days after its launch, there were more than 5,300 searches logged and 1,337 people signed up for household reminders. The new web tool will also make it possible to add solid waste collection data to the city’s open data catalogue, which people can use for research or to development web or mobile applications.

OPINION EDITORIAL
City should consider a pay-as-you-go future
C
ity councillors are in an unenviable position as they begin to tackle the next budget. The costs of Lansdowneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rebuilding lie ahead while taxpayers remember the sinkhole on highway 174. What to do, what to do? It would be nice to build new things â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an opera house, a new main library or affordable housing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but each project comes with two costs: the up-front bill for construction
and the long-term cost of maintenance. No one wants to end up at the bottom of a sinkhole. We need only look down the (provincially-maintained) highway to Montreal to see how bad things can get. Lumps of cement falling off bridges, rust eating away at metal spans and commuters who must keep an eye out for other cars, pedestrians and the occasional falling bridge. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not there yet and we
donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to arrive there any time soon. As many an expert has told city council, if you delay scheduled maintenance of your infrastructure, you end up paying more in the long run. One example is Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public housing, which provides a double-whammy. The existing homes need upkeep and we need more houses for low-income families. A new Lansdowne Park will be welcome and the deal is done, but other capital
expenditures should be carefully reviewed before going ahead. Better to spend any money we have on maintaining what we already own than to head out and buy more stuff: bridges, highways and roads. During austere economic times, few taxpayers would oppose frugal city spending. Many would applaud it. Any true fiscal conservative in this city should be willing to forego the possibility of new-fangled build-
ings and roads and should also get behind the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy of intensification over suburban sprawl. New neighbourhoods on the edge of town cost us all mightily when it comes time to run pipes, wires and buses to the new residents that move in. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whole financial system deserves a rethink. Maybe now is the time for the city to toss away the credit cards and live within its means. Instead of borrow-
ing to build new stuff, put the brakes on spending until we can operate on a pay-asyou-go basis. It would mean years of limited new stuff but the payoff comes after the hard work, when new projects can go ahead without need for borrowing and debt. In the meantime, city councillors should focus on the most pressing business: maintaining what we already own. The sky is not falling, but the road might.

A history museum? Why not? CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
O
f course everyone is suspicious these days that when it was announced that the Museum of Civilization was going to become the Canadian Museum of History, people assumed the worst. Or at least some people. The Museum of Canadian History was going to become an instrument of Conservative partisanship. Hall 1: How Sir John A. Macdonald invented Canada. Hall 2: The War of 1812. Hall 3: How the Liberals destroyed Canada. Hall 4: The Royal Family. Hall 5: How Stephen Harper saved Canada. Then you exit through the gift shop, where on sale are fridge magnets with the Free Trade Agreement printed on them, maps of Canada where Alberta is unusually large and several of the smaller provinces are missing, Stephen Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book about hockey and autographed copies of the Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act. Such are the times we live in. Nothing a politician does is above suspicion. But when you step back and look at it objectively, a Museum of Canadian History is not that bad a thing. There is no such thing now and every serious capital needs one. The late lamented Portrait Gallery was a step in that direction, a chance for us to have a look at important Canadians past and present, but it perished for a variety of reasons, some of them political. It is often said that Canada has a rich and colourful history. And it is said equally often that most Canadians donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that Canada has a rich and colourful history. That, obviously, has a
lot to do with what is and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taught in schools. But it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help that there is no single place Canadians can go and see their history portrayed in a vivid way. Properly done, the History Museum could accomplish a lot. Think of the Canadian War Museum and how compellingly the war years are portrayed there. There is much of our history that is not about war, but no reason that it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be portrayed compellingly, too. Think beyond war to the events and people who made this country, many of them uncelebrated, except perhaps in small museums in their birthplaces â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the explorers, politicians, rebels, artists, scientists and entrepreneurs. If you are in Batoche, Sask., you can see a great Louis Riel exhibition. If you are in Grand PrĂŠ, N.S., you can learn about the expulsion of the Acadians. If you are in Neepawa, Man., you can visit Margaret Laurenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house and learn about her life. We need to see all that here too, in a national museum. Not everyone can get to Neepawa or Batoche or Grand PrĂŠ. There would be a lot to put into this museum and locating it in Ottawa is a positive step. Ottawa is where the history museum belongs because the capital is the logical place for people to come and view their history. Anyone who has visited Washington knows how impressively American history is assembled and presented. No reason we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that here. In a perfect world, a brand new museum would be constructed, a grand edifice somewhere along Confederation Boulevard (remember Confederation Boulevard?), but the times are less than perfect and governments are done with putting up grand edifices. So we lose the Museum of Civilization. That museum, as it turns out, is Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular, but it has always lacked a clear identity. This change will give it one. Combined with the National Gallery, the War Museum and the Museum of Nature, the new museum will present visitors with a wellrounded picture of the kind of country Canada is and has been. That would be great to show visitors to Canada and even greater to show Canadians.

OPINION
Boredom, revisited: maybe it’s a killer, too rage. After a few minutes of quiet time and some protein to balance his blood sugar, I sit him down at the table to do an hour of homework. One hour! He’s in grade one. The exercises include reading monosyllables over and over again, a rapid phonics method I’ve seen work well to teach kids how to read. But, to quote my sixyear-old, “it’s so boring.” And then there’s the math – reading numbers from one to 40, then one to 60, then one to 100 on a grid. “It’s so boring.” Presumably these are the same exercises my active son has to endure day-in, day-out in the classroom. Midway through the second month of the term, he stood up in protest against this assault on his senses. “I’m not going to school anymore. It’s too boring. I don’t want to read le, la, me, il. I want to read real books. I don’t want to sit and listen to everyone in the class read this over and over again. I’m staying home and you can’t make me go to school EVER again.” Yikes! Really, I couldn’t blame him. It got me thinking about the way in which our kids are forced to spend their days -- being chronically bored.
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse A few weeks ago in this space, I wrote about the value of boredom – the idea that allowing kids unstructured time forces them to tap into their creativity and discover interesting activities. But in a new film, entitled Boredom, Montreal filmmaker Albert Nurenberg argues that too much boredom – especially enforced boredom – will kill you. He asserts that long periods of boredom equate to a form of chronic stress on our bodies. “The moment you become bored, there is an increase in the stress hormone cortisol,” Nerenberg told TheMonitor. ca. Anyone who knows anything about cortisol will understand it’s linked to
increased cholesterol, raised blood pressure, obesity and heart disease. The experts interviewed in Nurenberg’s film go further, connecting prolonged periods of boredom to risk-taking behaviour, (think of teenagers left too long to their own resources), restlessness, drug and alcohol abuse, extreme depression and even suicide. Nurenberg apologetically takes on the public education system as an institution that fuels an atmosphere of chronic boredom, forcing inherently active children to sit still and do rote learning for more than six hours each day. “You take a child who’s full of energy and full of curiosity and you make him sit at the same desk hour after
hour after hour controlled by the clock and by the bell,” quips one interviewee in the film. Others cite the fearful outcome of this – violent, depressed, drug-addicted teens and adults. It’s enough to scare any parent. What to do? I’m reluctant to take on a public education system that I see working for most, including my eldest child. But I do see a reason to tackle my youngest son’s boredom in the area I have the most control – homework. Instead of sitting down for an hour to repeat numbers and letters over and over again, we’re taking monosyllables and mathematics outside. Shoot a basket, read a syllable. Run around the yard, read a syllable. Slide down the slide, read a syllable. Play hide n’ seek, count to 100 (over and over and over again). It may take twice as much time, but at least my son and I will keep our cortisol levels in check and perhaps it will prolong our lives as well.

Video call connects classes around the world Stephen Leacock Skypes with students in Tanzania to discuss water Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC news - Technology is expanding the classroom around the world for students at Stephen Leacock Public School. A group of 27 grades 7 and 8 students connected with their counterparts in rural Tanzania over Skype, an online videomessage chat program, on Monday, Oct. 15. “I really thought it was cool to see how they’re different than us and how they’re the same as us,” said Grade 7 student Nick Smith. “I’d really like to see the Third World countries…get more water without having to walk.” The Skype call was set up by Canadian non-profit WaterCan, which provides the world’s poorest people with access to clean water, basic sanitation and hygiene education. TV personality Ben Mulroney hosted the talk from Engusero Primary School in rural Tanza-
nia. Mulroney is WaterCan’s national ambassador and is one of 22 participants in the organization’s inaugural Kilimanjaro Climb for Life. “The solution to so many problems is water,” said Mulroney, adding Oct. 15 was Global Handwashing Day. “The simple lack of washing one’s hands with soap can lead to illness…Simply by washing one’s hands with soap can save one-and-a-half million people.” The average woman must walk six kilometres to find water in the developing world. A lack of water “is one of the most lethal but solvable” problems in Third World countries, said Andrea Helfer, a WaterCan spokesperson. “Awareness is key.” “I’m shocked they have to walk six kilometres to get water,” said Grade 7 student Jake Zabel Rorai. “Not everyone has the privilege of clean drinking water,” said classmate Belinda Xu.
IN IN
Mulroney discussed ways Canadians can conserve water and spread awareness. The top three were: • Ban the bottle: it takes twice as much water to make a bottle as it does to fill it. Use a reusable bottle and filter system. • The power shower: cutting a 20 minute shower to five minutes will save 100 litres of liquid. • Walk for water: a six-kilometre walk is held on April 27 to raise funds and awareness about the lack of clean water in developing areas. “With these three things in mind you can save water,” said Mulroney. SKYPE
Students from the two schools took turns asking questions about daily living over Skype. When asked what they would change about their daily routine, the Tanzanian students answered “chores.” “It’s the same here as it is there,” laughed Mulroney. One thing that isn’t the same is the learning environment. When asked what their number

Students from Stephen Leacock Public School speak with their counterparts in rural Tanzania on Oct. 15. The Skype call was set up by Canadian non-profit WaterCan. one problem they want fixed is, the students in Tanzania answered their classrooms. Engusero has an average of 84 students per class. The revelation prompted a shocked “wow” from the entire audience. “I found this a very moving educational experience for our kids,” said teacher Gaynor Kondric. “I think it was important for them to hear some of those differences.” Stephen Leacock was chosen to take part in the transatlantic
call for being the first school to take part in WaterCan’s Water Drops Banner project. The group scaling Mount Kilimanjaro will unfurl the Water Drops Banner, comprised of vinyl water drops personalized by students from around the world. “This activity was a terrific follow-up to the school-wide events that took place here…it was very exciting for our students to see the result of their hard work and to know that their efforts to recognize glob-
al water issues were heard and appreciated.” Using technology to help further the curriculum is a great way to engage students, said teacher Devinder Trehan, who spearheaded the Skype event. “Forget the textbook and use the technology,” she said. “This experience has planted in all our minds how we can use Skype going forward,” said Gaynor. “It’s more authentic, it’s more visual. It’s a very valuable experience.”

October is national Autism Awareness Month Continued from page 1
“We are a family like every other who have dreams for our children. Our dream for both our children is to be the best that they can be and live happy, meaningful lives. While our daughter has the ability to go out in the world and fulfill her own dreams, our son needs assistance,” said Gibbons. She struggled to find a program that would suit Christopher, 22, a high-needs adult with autism, obsessive compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and sensory issues. Then she discovered the Kanata Language Arts Program, which Christopher attends every Monday and Wednesday. “This is a place where Chris fits in,” said Gibbons. “I’m fortunate I met Simy…If I didn’t know her we wouldn’t have the language arts program.” October is Autism Awareness Month but it’s something that should be discussed yearround, said Gibbons. “For people with autism, it’s hard to find programs with proper care,” she said. “The bottom line is he will never be able to function independently.” Aside from the language arts program, Christopher
also attends a fitness class twice a week with a personal care worker. Most programs have a worker to participant ratio of one to five, which isn’t enough supervision for someone with high needs. “On paper it looks great, it looks like there’s oodles and oodles of things,” said Gibbons about the programs offered for adults with developmental disabilities. “(But) there is nothing that really suits someone with as high needs as (Christopher).” There are many options out there for children with autism, said Illouze, so it’s baffling that these programs don’t exist for adults. “Children with autism do not disappear from society and their needs do not go away,” added Gibbons. ‘PRO BONO’
A qualified teacher, Illouze develops the literacy materials specifically for the students in the language arts program. Topics include: countries of the world, history and cultures, religious and non-religious holidays, plants and animals, science, nutrition and fitness, and movies. “We want them to learn about the world and we don’t deny them this opportunity because of their special need,”
SUBMITTED
The Kanata Language Arts Program, an educational day course for adults with development delays, uses fun activities like parachute dances and adapted line dancing as socialization opportunities. she said. “My own son and the others, they have learned information they didn’t even learn in high school. “When we cover cultures and the reasons for the holidays…this is all information that was never covered with them when they were in high
school or primary grades because the system considered them not functional enough.” She uses language-based games and crafts to help her students retain the information and they take “body breaks” to help keep them focused. “It gives them a window

into a world that was never opened for them before,” said Illouze. “They go home at the end of the day with some information that they will retain.” There is no funding in place for the Kanata Language Arts Program.
“I offer my teaching and material preparation services pro bono two afternoons per week. Families contribute to the very low cost of rental for the premises rented through the City of Ottawa as well as minimal costs for craft materials,” said Illouze, adding, “It has been extremely rewarding for me to see the participants thrive in this environment.” The Kanata Language Arts Program is open to all teens and adults with developmental delays, said Illouze, not just those with autism, and she’s hoping to attract more families who see the need for continued education. “If there was demand out there it’s a course that could become five times a week,” said Illouze. “We really need people to come to this course if we want to survive. “We have sent invitations to all the day programs for adults in the region, inviting them to send their participants…to our program.” Gibbons said she hopes someone will step forward to help fund the program. “This segment of the population does need more funding. There needs to be more for adults with autism.” For more information on the Kanata Language Arts Program, email Illouze at logme@rogers.com.

John Young applies for grant to fund new play structure
VOTES NEEDED
Currently, there is a metal play climber in the yard but it’s only available to the students in grades 4, 5 and 6. John Young
boasts a total of 440 students this year, and all junior kindergarten to Grade 6 students in Glen Cairn are slated to attend the school starting in 2013, thanks to the reconfiguration of boundaries. “We’re getting all of Glen Cairn,” said Wright, adding she’s hoping the whole community will vote for John Young to receive the grant. People need to register their email address on the Aviva website and then can vote daily. “Literally, it’s 20 seconds,” said Veurtjes. “It is so simple and the rewards are huge.” Students will have their hands in selecting the equipment they want to see in the yard. They’ll have to research why certain components should be included. “It ties into our school improvement plan,” said Veurtjes. “If they’re going to be playing with it they need to choose it.” The A.Y. Jackson Secondary School audio visual team also got into the spirit, helping create a video to showcase the elementary school’s need. Voting opened on Monday, Oct. 22, and closes on Nov. 5. To vote for John Young, visit avivacommunityfund.org/ ideas/acf15517. “We’re hoping the community will get behind us and vote daily,” said Veurtjes.

EMC news - John Young Elementary students have been without a play structure since the board condemned and removed the old one just before the school year began in September. The school council and staff are hoping the community can come together to help them secure the funding for a new playground though an Aviva Community Fund grant. “Kids, when they don’t have anything to do, they get bored,” said principal Pete Veurtjes. “They do need to have something out there.” The cost to bring the grounds up to code – replacing asphalt and fixing the drainage system – and purchase and install a new structure will run upwards of $100,000, said school council chair Michelle Wright. “Nothing’s up to code anymore,” she said, adding it would cost between $50,000 and $60,000 to fix the yard before a structure is installed. “Parents don’t understand how expensive this is.” The school council has been fundraising for the past four years setting aside just over $30,000 for a new structure. But it’s not enough, said Wright, who’s been involved with the
school for 14 years. John Young is hoping to receive most of the money it needs through Aviva, which will help cover the majority of the cost for replacing the play structure and bringing the grounds up to code. The school is 35 years old, with the old play structure installed five years after John Young was built. “It was rotting,” she said. “Slowly, pieces were taken away.” All that’s left now is an empty sand pit and one long metal rail. The school has a bin of toys, like sand pails and shovels that students can take out during recess. But the plastic playthings don’t replace the loss of a structure. “It’s not even close to sufficient,” said Veurtjes, who helped the Crystal Bay Centre for Special Education in Nepean win an Aviva grant in 2010. He added a play structure is “a form of socialization,” where students learn how to interact with each other. It also helps combat obesity by providing students with exercise.

Breast cancer survivor looks for courage within A Beaverbrook woman struggles to recover from double masectomy Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com
EMC news - Five days after her surgery Linda Morin stood in front of a mirror and looked at herself. A long scar stretching from armpit to armpit marked the battlefield of her chest where doctors had cut away the cancer, and in the process, both of her breasts. Morin stared at her reflection for 10 seconds. “I said to myself, ‘I will never look at that person again,’” she said. “I hated myself. I just hated myself.” For the next two years, Morin refused to look at or touch her naked body. “Even when I was in the shower I wouldn’t touch myself – I couldn’t touch myself; it was disgusting,” she said. “I didn’t know her; I didn’t know that person. How dare that person make me look that way.” The then 45-year-old Beaverbrook woman sank into a depression. “I didn’t know who I was anymore,” she said. “I didn’t want to talk to anybody; I didn’t want to see anybody – I hated everybody. “Losing my breasts was a big thing for me. It was my womanhood.” DIAGNOSIS
The journey from the first suspicion of cancer to a double mastectomy was a whirlwind seven months in 2007. Morin had just moved into a new home in Beaverbrook with her 15- and 10-year-old sons, and she was busy with life, dividing her time working as an interior designer and staging homes for sale, and raising her two boys. Her active lifestyle including running 10 kilometres a day and kickboxing. Early in 2007, Morin felt a pain in her chest, stretching down to her stomach and legs. “It came to a point that I couldn’t kickbox anymore because my breasts were so sore.” She went in for an ultrasound and her gynecologist discovered cysts on her ovaries. The gynecologist told her she was pre-menopausal and that the cysts on her ovaries were affecting her hormones causing her breasts to feel sore. Morin was scheduled to go in for surgery to remove the cysts in April 2007 – but first her gynecologist wanted her to go in for a mammogram. Cancer ran in Morin’s family – her grandmother had died of the disease at the age of 68, her great-aunt when she was only 38. The mammogram showed a buildup of cysts in Morin’s chest. Two months after her surgery to remove the cysts, Morin felt a lump the size of a prune in her left breast. She was sent for a lumpecto-
my, where a doctor took a portion of her chest tissue to test. Two weeks later the results were in. It was cancer. “The moment that he told me that I had breast cancer I had thought that I was going to die,” said Morin. “Here I am sitting by myself in the doctor’s office and I’m a single mother with two boys and now who’s going to take care of my kids?” Morin went home and sat with her two boys and broke the news. “Mom, are you going to die?” her youngest son asked. Morin didn’t know what to say. “I didn’t know whether I was going to live or die and I told him, ‘I don’t know, but I know we’re going to fight this and we’re going to fight this together.’” Morin’s mother broke down in tears when she heard the news. “My mother took me and held me really, really tight like she couldn’t let go of me and she kept on saying, ‘God take me instead. Don’t let her die. Punish me.’” Telling your family you have cancer is one of the worst experiences in life, said Morin. “When I left the house I had said to myself that there’s no way that the cancer’s going to get me. I’m going to beat this thing. There’s no way that the cancer’s going to kill me.” During the next few weeks Morin met with two other surgeons seeking second and third opinions. One doctor advised her to remove only part of her breast, saying she was too young to lose it entirely. Morin’s boyfriend was ex-
sion,” Morin said. “Now I’m losing my breasts and that’s a very important part of my womanhood.” But Morin didn’t want to live with the fear of having the cancer spreading and having to go through a cancer diagnosis all over again. “For me, the right decision was to remove both.” SURGERY
Morin remembers feeling terribly afraid as she was wheeled in for her operation at the Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital on Aug. 10, 2007. Her mother and brother held her hand as she was transferred to the operating room. She was worried about the surgery, worried about her boys – one would stay in California with her sister and the youngest would stay with his father during her operation and recovery. Then there was the small matter of her home – in the weeks leading up to the surgery, her house had been flooded and a home inspector had discovered mould in the basement, telling her she would have to find another place to recover following her doublemastectomy. The surgery lasted six-anda-half hours. When Morin woke up in her hospital room she asked to be alone. “I wanted to touch my chest,” she said. “I wanted to see what was there. How was I going to look? How was it going to feel?” Her arms felt heavy and numb as she moved a hand to her chest. “That was a shock,” she said. “I knew the moment I touched my chest, I knew I was never going to be the same person again. I knew that my life was completely different now.” Morin’s long road to recovery started with a complete change to her diet – breads,
I knew the moment I touched my chest, I knew I was never going to be the same person again. I knew that my life was completely different now. LINDA MORIN
cited by the advice. But Morin was worried – there was a 20 per cent chance the cancer would return and spread to her right breast. “Oh, you just want to have your boobs cut off,” she remembers her boyfriend saying. Morin looked at him dumbfounded. “I just wanted to punch him because I said, ‘Yeah, every woman’s dream is to lose her breasts.’” Morin sent her medical records to her sister in Los Angeles, Calif., whose husband was a breast surgeon and was friends with an oncologist. Her oncologist’s advice was simple and direct: the cancer was aggressive, so the chance of it spreading to the right breast was high. Morin needed a doublemastectomy, the oncologist told her. “It was a very difficult deci-

fried foods and sugary treats were out, replaced with vegetable and fruit juices, fish, soy and other healthy sources of protein. Morin’s mother had bought a juicer for her. “In five days I felt like a new person,” she said. “I didn’t feel sick anymore.” Soon, Morin was jogging, walking and exercising again. “I felt really good for almost a year.” Then the stomach and leg pains returned. An ultrasound showed cysts had returned to her ovaries – but were they cancerous? Morin was worried the “whole nightmare was starting again.” The doctors scheduled a full laparoscopic hysterectomy, removing both her ovaries. Morin told her doctors that if during the operation they discovered the cancer had spread

Linda Morin recently published her first book, The Courage to Look Beyond, detailing her battle with breast cancer and her long road to accepting the loss of her breasts following a double-mastectomy. throughout her body to “close me up and let me go home and let me die at home.” In the weeks leading up to the surgery, she spoke to a woman who had used juicing to help her recover from cancer. The woman told Morin to drink six ounces of wheat grass on an empty stomach every day. Four days before her surgery in December 2008, doctors ran tests again on Morin’s ovaries. “I don’t know what you did,” said her doctor. “There’s absolutely no blood in your urine. Your white blood cell counts are normal. Your pap test is normal. Everything is normal – what did you do?” Morin went ahead with the surgery, but she knew that if they discovered cancer in her body there wouldn’t be much of it and that she could beat it. Following the surgery, the doctors tested the removed cysts and there was no cancer. “I’ve been cancer-free ever since,” said Morin. RECOVERY
Morin’s road to spiritual renewal took much longer than her physical recovery. In 2008, Morin had developed a strong friendship with a man who had been diagnosed with colon cancer. She had known the man since she was nine years old. “He was all by himself. I promised to take care of him.” Three months after her hysterectomy, Morin learned that her boyfriend was seeing another woman. Her boyfriend’s new girl-
friend met with Morin and told her, “I let him touch my breasts since you don’t have any.” That same day, Morin’s friend who had colon cancer was taken to the hospital where he died three days later. “I had to deal with losing my partner and now losing my best friend all at the same time,” said Morin. “So I didn’t have time to think of me.” Morin decided to visit the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, Fla., an organization that promoted natural and alternative health care. She attended a seminar given by a doctor from Paris who educates other physicians about lymphedema, a medical condition caused by injury, trauma or congenital defects in the lymphatic system. Morin told the doctor she was still swollen and sore following her surgeries. The doctor asked Morin to remove her top. “I can’t remove my top. There’s 75 people in the room,” said Morin. “He said, ‘Well, this is the only way I can examine you.’” Morin looked at the crowd of people in the room. “This little voice inside me said, ‘Linda, do it.’ “I said, ‘Is everybody ready?’ and I removed my top. The room was so silent you could have heard a pin drop. I could hear my heart beating. “I just looked at everybody but the reaction I had wasn’t the reaction I thought. I thought people were just going to ‘ugh’ and (be) all disgusted at looking at me. But it wasn’t.” The audience gathered in a circle and watched the doctor
massage Morin’s back, liver and chest. “They said, ‘You’re courageous. You’re beautiful. You’re my inspiration. What you did is amazing.’” The next morning, two women sat down with her during breakfast and talked about their scars and how they felt about their bodies. “Some women were showing me their scars that they never showed their husbands for three, five years. One woman her whole body was burnt and she never showed her arms or her legs to anybody and she showed it to me.” Morin remembers thinking at the time, “If I’ve helped these two women already, how many more could I help by doing what I did last night by revealing myself?” REVELATION
Morin decided to write an article about her experience recovering from breast cancer over the past year with a photograph of herself topless. The director of the Hippocrates Health Institute agreed it was a great idea and arranged for a photo shoot the next afternoon. But when Morin sat down and looked at the photographs she wanted to drop the project. “I didn’t know that woman in the pictures,” she said. “I didn’t want to know her.” The Hippocrates director told her to go home and hire her own photographer and promised that she’d be ready for it.

Did you WagJag and get in on the savings? “I can't believe I saved so much... ”
When she arrived home, Morin hired Michelle Valberg, an award-winning Canadian photographer who had worked with many women recovering from cancer in the past. But again, when she looked at the dozens of photographs of herself topless, Morin was horrified. She sank into a depression for several days. “I couldn’t get out of bed,” she said. “I realized it was because I had to look at myself.” When a copy of Morin’s article, “The Beauty Within”,” appearing in Healing our World – a magazine published by the Hippocrates Health Institute – arrived in her mailbox, Morin’s youngest son opened the mail. “Mom, your article came out!” he said. Morin looked at her story – it came with a full page photograph of her topless. She quickly put down the magazine. “Mom can I take it to school?” her son asked. “I want to take it to my teacher and my principal because maybe you’ll be able to help someone that they know.” Her son’s reaction was echoed by hundreds of emails
from people all over the world thanking Morin for writing the article. “I was amazed at the reaction from so many people,” she said. “I just went topless, but it changed so many people. I decided, you know what, if it’s making such an impact on people all throughout the world, what about if I write a book? “That’s when I said, ‘This is my body. This is how I look and this is how it’s staying,’” said Morin. That same day, Morin decided against breast reconstruction surgery. “I do not want to put myself through any more pain, any more surgery to have breasts,” she said. “I’ve had my two kids; I’ve nursed my kids. Women have breasts to nurse their children – they’ve done their jobs.” Breast reconstructive surgery would demand four more operations and two years of recovery. “I was finally getting my life back to the way it was. I’m starting to feel my upper body again. I was rollerblading everyday, biking everyday,” said Morin. “I didn’t want to take that away.” It was more important to keep exercising and stay active, she said. “This is me now,” she said.
“This is my new look and I accept my new look. I’m not ashamed of not having breasts.” Morin wrote about the story of her battle with cancer and her recovery in the recently published book The Courage to Look Beyond, on sale at the Kanata Chapters and Rainbow Natural Foods, located at 1487 Richmond Rd. Readers can obtain a signed copy of the book by purchasing it through the website lindamorin.ca. Morin will appear for a book signing at the Kanata Chapters on Sunday, Oct. 28 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. “I want women to feel good about themselves and not be ashamed of who they are,” she said. “It doesn’t matter what scars you have. It doesn’t matter if it’s cancer. It doesn’t matter if you’re fat, small, you have big breasts – accept yourself.” Morin hopes her message will resonate with teens and young women. “The girls, they feel that they have to have their breasts done,” she said. “They feel they have to have implants because they’re going to attract more men. It doesn’t matter the size of your breasts. It’s what’s inside that matters – that’s what’s beautiful.”

Mayor has no plans to leave city hall Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Jim Watson has marked the halfway point in his new term as mayor, and if he has his way he won’t be
leaving anytime soon. One of the biggest carrots of his political career was dangled in front of him last week: the possibility of leading the provincial Liberal party, for which he served
as a cabinet minister in the 2000s. After Premier Dalton McGuinty announced he was stepping down from that role, Watson immediately and flatly rejected a leadership bid. “I’m very, very happy

here. I’ve worked on Parliament Hill and served at Queen’s Park and I’ve been at city hall, and by far the most fulfilling for me, and where I think I can contribute the most, is at city hall,” he said. Watson said he can’t see himself heading back to Queen’s Park or Parliament Hill. PRODUCTIVE
Municipalities are the most productive level of government, Watson said, because they “don’t get bogged down in the name calling and pettiness of politics. “When I see what goes on on Parliament Hill and at Queen’s Park – all of the divisiveness, rancor and arguing, I don’t miss those,” he said. “I find that those two levels of government have become overly or hyper-partisan.” While Watson supported reducing the size of city council and re-drawing the ward boundaries – a bid his councillor colleagues rejected earlier this year – he does not support term limits for politicians. “We have term limits. It’s called the voters,” he said. Watson will again be looking to voters to support his vision for a “more co-operative, collaborative approach”

Mayor Jim Watson has rejected an opportunity to seek the Liberal leadership midway through his term. at city hall when he runs for re-election in 2014. The restoration of decorum and collaboration amongst city councillors is the achievement Watson has consistently listed as his top accomplishment since his reelection as mayor on Oct. 25,

The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 279, has never been better, Watson said, pinning the credit directly on his newly appointed OC Transpo general manager, John Manconi, who took over after former GM Alain Mercier was fired in February. “It’s just a world of difference what was there even two year ago to what’s there today in terms of what John Manconi has brought to the table and the transit commission,” he said. All of the major labour union agreements for the city have been settled with increases at or below the rate of inflation, Watson said. Watson recently checked approvals for the Lansdowne reconstruction project off his to-do list, and by the new year, he an city council will have chosen a builder for the first phase of the city’s light-rail line running under the downtown core. Both projects have been in discussions for more than a decade in various forms, and now Watson is happy to count them among the 85 per cent of
election promises he’s already completed, with half of his term still to go. The next two years will be about “staying the course,” and living within our means, the mayor said. “The easy part is voting on these big projects. The tougher part is implementing them to make sure they are on time and on budget,” Watson said.
Let’s fix what we have instead of reaching beyond our means, at least in the short term MAYOR JIM WATSON
The Kourier-Standard interviewed the mayor two days before the 2013 budget was to be released, but the budget will also reflect his “stay the course” mentality, Watson said. He plans to maintain his commitment to freezing recreation fees, and the focus will be on continuing the Ottawa
on the Move program to fix the city’s existing infrastructure. “We don’t have an unlimited supply of dollars to put into new initiatives. We’ve got a lot on our plate now,” Watson said. He reiterated that the highway 174 sinkhole this fall and the Woodroffe Avenue water main break and outdoor water ban in 2011 were good reminders that council needs to take care of our existing infrastructure. “It was a good reminder of how we need to take care of our basic infrastructure needs first and foremost before we reach too far afield for new projects,” Watson said. For that reason, Watson said he won’t be supporting a new Main library branch downtown, but he applauded library board chairwoman Coun. Jan Harder’s call to find innovative ways to refurbish the existing Metcalfe Street branch. “Let’s fix what we have instead of reaching beyond our means, at least in the short term,” Watson said. “I think that’s the prudent approach that I’d take. I think we need to get the basics right, first and foremost.”

Life’s a slice at seniors pizza cookoff Walden Village wins Judges Award for twicebaked pizza Blair Edwards Blair.edwards@metroland.com
EMC news - Dozens of seniors gathered at the Kanata Seniors Centre on Oct. 18 for the Best Pizza in the West Cookoff. The contest featured signature dishes from chefs and cooks at seven retirement homes in the city’s west end, with a panel of judges and the audience selecting the best pizzas. Kingsway Arms at Walden Village won the Judges Award for its twice-baked pizza, while Chartwell Kanata Retirement Residence won the People’s Choice Award for its stuffed crust vegetarian pizza. Judges said the competition was tough this year, with a variety of dishes including dessert pizzas. “I think it’s just really exciting to see the quality of services at the residences locally,” said Cathy Jordan, the executive director of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and one of the three judges at the cookoff. “I think it’s wonder-

Dozens of seniors enjoyed a gourmet selection of pizza and dessert pizza during the Best Pizza in the West Cookoff held at the Kanata Seniors Centre on Oct. 18. ful to see how many of the seniors enjoy to participate in this event.” Kevin McCarthy, a cooking and lifestyle co-ordinator for Sobeys grocery store on March Road, said
he enjoys participating as a judge at the event every year. “I like how it demystifies what they cook at seniors homes,” he said. “It’s not all pureed foods – it’s
a different level of cooking.” The cooks at Lynwood Park Lodge went with a royal jubilee theme, arriving at the event with a life-sized cutout of Queen Elizabeth
and serving up Greek pizza. “We were trying out ideas and (residents at Lynwood) said why not do the jubilee?” said Cindy Smiley, food services manager at Lynwood. When asked what the Queen’s Jubilee had to do with Greek pizza, the residents replied that Prince Philip, the Queen’s husband, was of Greek descent. Waterside Retirement Community, located in Carleton Place, sent a group of 10 residents to cheer on their cooks for the competition. Community relations manager at Waterside Patty Guimond said her residents look forward to competing in the Kanata Seniors Centre’s cookoff every October. “It’s the competition,” she said. “It’s friendly and fun.” John Kern has been co-ordinating the annual cookoff ever since the competition started in 2002 at the Kanata Seniors Centre. “Each year it’s themed to a different type of food,” he said. “This year it happens to be pizza.” The residents of the competing retirement homes often help their cooks select their entries. “A lot of the time they have their residents sample what they’re going to feature in the cookoff,” said Kern. In previous years the cookoff has featured spaghetti and sauces, chocolate, quiches and chicken. Next year’s cookoff will ask chefs from area residences to prepare apple dessert dishes.

Cyclist injured in Kanata thanks responders John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Mark White, one of the cyclists hit by a motorist on March Road in Kanata three years ago, reaches the half-marathon finish line during the 9-RUN-RUN emergency services run in Stittsville on Oct. 20.
EMC news - Mark White was one of the last to finish a half-marathon race during the annual 9-Run-Run event held in Stittsville on Saturday, Oct. 20. But this was more than just a simple race for the Nepean man. It was a way to say thank you to the paramedics, police officers and firefighters who helped him and his four friends after they were struck by a van while out cycling on March Road in 2009. The driver who struck the five cyclists was found guilty of dangerous driving causing bodily harm and leaving the scene of an accident last year. White, who finished the half marathon with a time of two hours, 44 minutes and 49 seconds, met with emergency service personnel prior to the race and thanked them for their efforts on July 19, 2009. White was unable to participate in last year’s run be-
cause he was testifying at the trial of the man who struck the five cyclists. He said he and his friends are all further along their road to recovery thanks to the efforts of the emergency first responders in 2009. White joined a group of more than 1,800 other runners participating in 9-Run-Run’s three-kilometre, 10-kilometre and half-marathon races, which were organized by the city’s emergency services. Money raised by the thirdannual 9-Run-Run go to the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health and the Do It For Daron campaign to raise awareness about youth mental health. Two of the city fire department’s ladder trucks were used to serve as the flagpole holding a giant Canadian flag high in the air at the start/finish line. Participants ranged in age from one to 80 and came from Ottawa, New York State, British Columbia, Quebec and Manitoba. BIG DRAW

Among the participants was a huge contingent of over 70 from the Renfrew area who wore orange Move It For Mark T-shirts in memory of Mark Springer, an area youth who committed suicide exactly a year earlier. Move It For Mark has raised more than $10,000 this year to combat youth suicide. Some of the groups participating in the run were: • Team Fire, a group of 71 firefighters. • Team Paramedic, with 64 paramedics. • Team Police, with 66 officers. • Team Algonquin, with a group of emergency services program students from the college. More than 175 volunteers helped organize and run the event. Alan Rushforth of Nepean, 80, completed the half-marathon in two hours, 51 minutes and 31 seconds. Rushforth ran in the Boston Marathon in 2008, when he was the oldest Canadian competing in the event. Four girls dressed in purple full-length body suits, each with a letter on their front spelling out DIFD (Do It for Daron) led the warm-up exercises for the three-kilometre Family Fun Run. Ottawa fire department inspectors and chiefs, all decked out in their finest dress uniforms, were at the finish line to congratulate and hand out the medals to the half-marathon and 10-kilometre finishers. Cameron Caughey of Stittsville recorded the fastest time in the 10-kilometre race with a time of 37 minutes and 33 seconds. Ottawa’s Ryan Leaf was the top finisher in the half-marathon at one hour, 19 minutes and 14 seconds. Organizers are confident the 9-Run-Run event will exceed last year’s fundraising total of $25,911.

CHARLES BORDELEAU ting together the forum because too often, these types of discussions happen at the national level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is where it impacts the community the most, locally,â&#x20AC;? Reid said. Mohamed Sofa, a community activist from PinecrestQueensway who now lives in Beacon Hill-Cyrville, said forums alone are not going to make a difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have more policing, more public forums and no more programs,â&#x20AC;? Sofa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a recipe for success.â&#x20AC;? He said Ottawa is very bureaucratic and has historically not been willing to take a risk and provide grants to fund grassroots community projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can we take this discussion to the neighbourhoods and provide funding that will change lives?â&#x20AC;? said Sofa. In Toronto, Lindsay said the city has been willing to give out â&#x20AC;&#x153;really risky grantsâ&#x20AC;? to small, community-led groups, to â&#x20AC;&#x153;honour people who have ideas.â&#x20AC;? When money goes to frontline workers and people directly in the community, there is more chance of success, he said. The most poignant moment of the evening came when a woman gave an emotional plea for the city to acknowledge and assist the â&#x20AC;&#x153;invisible victimsâ&#x20AC;?: mothers of the

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ottawa already knows what it needs to do to reduce gang activity in the city â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now, it just needs to make it happen. That was the theme of a discussion at city hall last Wednesday evening during a forum called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taking Action Together: Addressing Gangs in Our City.â&#x20AC;? The Oct. 17 event was organized by the Ottawa police, Crime Prevention Ottawa, the Youth Services Bureau and Ottawa Community Housing, but most of the discussion and questions from members of the public rehashed issues that have been discussed at similar events in the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think these are themes that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard through our conversations,â&#x20AC;? said Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau. He added it is still important to listen to those stories and create a dialog about the issues that people are seeing in their communities. The chief said he was pleased with the number of people who attended and the amount of passion they showed about the issue. A sharp rise in shootings this year reinvigorated the push to end gang violence in Ottawa. There have already been 31 shootings this year as of Oct. 3, more than a 30 per cent increase over last year, said Staff Sgt. Mark Patterson from the police guns and gangs unit There are an estimated 473 people involved in gangs in Ottawa and between 25 and 30 of them are believed to be involved in shootings. The event began with a panel presentation from Bordeleau, Patterson, Crime Prevention Ottawa executive director Nancy Worsfold and a special guest speaker, Jabari Lindsay, a youth development manager for the City of Toronto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not a problem we can arrest our way out of,â&#x20AC;? Bordeleau said, emphasizing that solutions must be collaborative and focused on preventing youth from becoming involved with gangs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to reinvent the wheel. All we have to do is look beyond our borders and see what we can adapt to use in our community,â&#x20AC;? Bordeleau said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A multifaceted solution that involves the whole community is the answer.â&#x20AC;? Lindsay shared one tip that resonated with the panel and audience: we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to â&#x20AC;&#x153;help the helpers.â&#x20AC;? Healing communities is about taking care of the people who are addressing these issues in the community, too, he said. Afterwards, around 200 people in attendance had a chance to share their thoughts, stories and questions with the panel. One resident, Frank Reid, thanked organizers for put-
young people involved in gang activity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those men, respect their mothers. You need to talk to them,â&#x20AC;? she said. Lindsay agreed, saying he always had utmost respect for his own mother during his wayward youth and that has led him to ensure he connects with mothers of the youth he works with in Toronto. Reaching out to people directly affected and involved with gang activity was also on the mind of Sandy Hill resident Christien Levien. He called on the police to reach out directly to youth involved in gangs in order to create an effective solution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear their voices, because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not here,â&#x20AC;? Levien said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will be further marginalized.â&#x20AC;? Creating a â&#x20AC;&#x153;collaborative solution,â&#x20AC;? as the city says it wants to do, involves collaborating with people directly involved with the problem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just city departments and agencies, Levien said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re open to that,â&#x20AC;? Bordeleau said, adding that it is extremely difďŹ cult to engage current gang members in those kinds of discussions. In an interview after the forum, Bordeleau said the police service has connected with former gang members in the past and found it very helpful, but he stressed that he would greatly appreciate anyone who could direct him to a gang-involved young person who is willing to speak to the police. Planning for the forum began in July, after Premier Dalton McGuinty announced $12.5 million for violenceprevention programs, including $7.5 million for the Provincial Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy that funds the Ottawa policeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DART (Direct Action Response Team) unit, which deals with gun and gang crime.

Grey Cup stops at Rideau Hall Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
EMC news - It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the average pre-game routine for the OrlĂŠans Bengals bantam
football team as they, along with the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mosquito division team, greeted the Grey Cup at Rideau Hall on Oct. 21. The Grey Cup is in Ottawa as a part of a cross-Canada tour. Dax Johnston, a CFL employee who was ďŹ lling in for the day as the keeper of the Cup and was decked out in a suit and crisp white gloves, carried the cup up the walkway to CFL alumni, Gov. Gen. David Johnston, CFL commissioner Mark Cohon and a swarm of Bengals players. They moved into Rideau Hall as photos of Lord Grey and Lord Stanley â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Grey Cup and Stanley Cupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s namesakes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hung on the walls beside the cup. Lord Grey was a former governor general who donated the trophy in 1909. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is something very special about this great game,â&#x20AC;? Johnston said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trophy is steeped in history and is a reminder of all that unites us as Canadians.â&#x20AC;? Johnston reďŹ&#x201A;ected on the harsh Canadian elements that have followed the Grey Cup game, with mud, rain, snow and fog often making appearances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the Cup could speak, what amazing stories it would

Players get the chance of a lifetime Continued from page 24
PHOTOS BY BRIER DODGE/METROLAND
An OrlĂŠans Bengal player shakes Gov. Gen. David Johnston as the Grey Cup arrives at Rideau Hall on Oct. 21.
Players were allowed to touch and pose with the cup, only restricted to not lifting the cup up over their heads â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a gesture only allowed by those who have won the cup. But OrlĂŠans players were clearly inspired by the Cup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We enjoyed ourselves, we realized itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a once in a lifetime opportunity,â&#x20AC;? said Martin Prouse, 16, a member of the bantam team.
Club president Dennis Prouse said that despite the bantam teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game later in the day, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an opportunity they could turn down. Because the CFL has been absent in Ottawa, national capital players havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the chance to get into the Canadian league as much as other cities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We missed a generation in Ottawa because the CFL left,â&#x20AC;? Prouse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to connect the kids to the history of the game. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thrilled to know
Ottawa will once again have (CFL) football.â&#x20AC;? Cole Spencer, 10, a player on the mosquito team, said it was exciting to see the Grey Cup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was bigger than I thought,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Bengals didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk away with a victory against the Bell Warriors later in the afternoon, but they still had a day to remember with a piece of football history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about a symbol of Can-
ada, our stories, our football stories,â&#x20AC;? Cohon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) back to Rideau Hall where it all started.â&#x20AC;? The Grey Cup was on display at Rideau Hall earlier this week, and will be at Hunt Club Nissan on Oct. 26 from 5 to 6 p.m. and at the Ottawa Trainyards on Oct. 27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the main fan celebration. The 100th Grey Cup game will be played on Nov. 25 in Toronto.

Ottawa set to welcome new street food Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news – Looser proposed rules governing food trucks in the city would mean that 20 vehicles would be able to begin operating next year, but some councillors are worried the changes will make Ottawa look like a nanny state. The eased licensing laws for food trucks are meant to inspire creative chefs and entrepreneurs to expand the street-food offerings in Ottawa. To that end, the process will include a selection panel
that would be charged with ensuring the new offerings contribute to making the city more vibrant, but not to dictate menu items. The panel is meant to ensure the best and most creative new vendors get a crack at one of the 20 new spaces (there are also 16 existing vacant spots), said Bay Ward Coun. Mark Taylor, the chairman of the city’s community and protective services committee. The new rules still have to be endorsed by full city council, but Taylor’s committee voted in support of the chang-
es – with all members except for College Ward Coun. Rick Chiarelli in favour. “I think our job is to determine how many vehicles there should be and where they should be and leave it up to the vendors to decide what to serve,” Chiarelli said. “It’s not our job to engineer menus.” Councillors Jan Harder (Barrhaven) and Eli El-Chantiry (West Carleton-March) also expressed concerns about the risk of dictating the type of food to be served, but they voted in support of the rules in the end.
But Philip Powell, the city staffer who worked on the new rules, said they were specifically designed to “look big” and be flexible instead of being prescriptive. He said the looser regulations are an opportunity for “cultural celebration” in the city. Taylor said he hopes ethnic cuisines and hip, urban foods take over from hot dogs and poutine. Aside from a Thai-themed truck near city hall and Stone Soup’s truck at the University of Ottawa, there is very little variety in Ottawa’s street food. That’s
AUTUMN BONUS OFFER!
not because the city tells vendors what to sell, but rather because the restricted size of the trucks allowed limits food storage and cooking options, Taylor said. Easing the restriction even slightly from one metre wide to 1.2 metres wide will make a positive difference, said street-food vendor Terry Scanlon. He has operated his truck for 30 years, but says he welcomes the new rules that will bring more vendors like him to the streets. “I know from experience,
Cancer film to be screened Oct. 29 Jake Cole Prevent Cancer Now
Here’s a film you won’t want to miss. Cancer rates have increased for most types of the disease. Presently, about 45 per cent of Canadian men will get cancer at some point in their lives while that’s 40 per cent for women. About one quarter of us will ultimately die from the disease. It’s now our nation’s number one killer. Almost everyone knows someone who has cancer. Ever wonder why so many of us are getting the disease? It may be the increased exposures to toxics in our daily lives. If you are concerned about the effects of our worsening environment on your health, you should plan to attend this one time screening of the film, Living Downstream at the Mayfair Theatre on Bank Street. It is scheduled for Oct. 29 at 7 p.m. and will cost $10.
The film is set around the real life experience of Sandra Steingraber, who has been compared to the late Rachel Carson. Like Carson, Dr. Steingraber contracted bladder cancer and she believes that the disease was triggered by toxics released into her environment. The powerful film chronicles her battle to get at the truth about the link between cancer and the environment. Her battle still goes on today. The film’s producer/director, Chanda Chevannes, will be on hand after the screening, to speak about the film and the latest news on that battle. Dr. Steingraber will also be available for questions, virtually, through Skype. Tickets for the film are $10 and can be purchased at the door or online at livingdownstreamottawa.eventbrite.ca or preventcancernow.ca. For more information about the film visit livingdownstream.com/ bout-film.

you have to have the space to produce the product,” Scanlon said. Scanlon also supports a regulated distance of 46 metres between a food truck and a restaurant. The distance can breed tension between street vendors and traditional restaurants because lower overhead costs mean the trucks can undercut the prices restaurants charge. City council was set to vote on the new rules on Wednesday Oct. 24, after this newspaper’s deadline.

Make cycling irresistible to make it a success: expert Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Getting people on bicycles is about convincing them it’s not just something they do – it’s something that’s impossible for them to resist doing. That was the message delivered by keynote speaker Ralph Buehler during the annual general meeting of local bicycle advocacy group, Citizens for Safe Cycling. More than 100 people gathered at Tom Brown Arena in Hintonburg to hear Buehler’s advice, culled from his research as an assistant professor of urban affairs and planning at Virginia Tech University and as the co-author of an upcoming book called City Cycling. Cycling is on an upward trend in cities all around the world, Buehler said, but a comprehensive approach is needed to keep it that way. Building bicycle lanes alone is not enough, Buehler said. If a city really wants to make strides, it needs to look at things like bike parking, bike-sharing programs, marketing and events, and broader things like driver education and creating zoning rules that favour compact, mixed-use communities. “Public policies are crucial
to making cycling more attractive and to make cycling safer,” Buehler said. As Ottawa embarks on its ambitious, $2.1-billion light rail project, Buehler made some relevant points about the mutual benefits of integrating cycling into transit systems. “Integration with public transit can be beneficial for both modes,” Buehler said. From a transit perspective, providing bike parking at transit stations or even more effectively, allowing bikes aboard transit vehicles, can increase the catchment area for the transit system. While cities look at a walking distance of about 600 or 800 metres to a major transit hub, encouraging people to cycle to the station can make transit a more attractive option to people who live or work farther away, Buehler said. One public policy that is picking up steam in cyclingfriendly cities around the world is the “green wave:” co-ordinating traffic signals along a street so that they will all be green for someone travelling at approximately the speed of a bicycle. At the same time that cities create policies to encourage bicycle use, they also need to look at creating disincentives for driving, Buehler said. In Canada, an average of 1.3

per cent of all trips are made by bicycle. That’s slightly higher than the United States, but much lower than the Netherlands – the world leader – at 26 per cent, and even Germany at 10 per cent. Much of that has to do with the traditional use of bicycles that shaped people’s attitudes towards cycling. In North America, it largely began as a recreational pursuit, while in western Europe bicycles have always been under the transportation umbrella.
On a local level, Ottawa’s 2.2 per cent bicycle share has a long way to go to catch up to Victoria at 9.5 per cent or Vancouver at 3.7 per cent. One way to get there is to encourage women to bike. Women are an “indicator species,” Buehler said. Research shows that women are more risk averse, so if conditions encourage them to cycle, it’s probably a good environment for other categories of cyclists, too. Another speaker, Olivia Chow, MP for Trinity-Spa-
dina in Toronto, brought her message of cycling safety to the meeting as well. Chow is sponsoring a private member’s bill aimed at requiring transport trucks to have sideguards installed – barriers between the cab and the trailer wheels that prevent cyclists and pedestrians from being fatally pulled under the back wheels of a right-turning truck. Not only do the guards save lives, Chow said, in the longrun they also reduce emissions and save money on fuel costs for trucks because they
make the vehicles more aerodynamic. Safety is also on the minds of Citizens for Safe Cycling members. The group is holding its first-ever bike-light giveaway, with more than 200 lights to be given away to help cyclists make themselves more visible as the days get darker. The event is happening on Nov. 1 from 4 to 6 p.m. at an undisclosed location. Check safecycling.ca for the location to be revealed closer to the date.

Two cross-country victories for Kanata’s Day clan Dan Plouffe
EMC sports - A doubledouble is usually reserved for coffee drinkers or basketball players, but Kanata’s Day family achieved their own unique cross-country running double-double at the high school city championships on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at Terry Fox Athletic Facility. Grade 9 Holy Trinity Catholic High School athlete Owen Day kicked off the day with a commanding victory by over a minute in the midget boys race, and older brother Mickey closed it with a solid senior boys triumph several hours later. It was the second time Mickey was part of a double Day dominance – he won the midget boys crown back in Grade 9 when his older brother Kieran took the senior prize. “We completed what we wanted to do,” said Mickey, who was proud to celebrate the fulfillment of what’s become a family tradition of excellence. “It was a good moment.” Earlier, he’d greeted Owen with a hug after his younger sibling made his high school debut by opening up an early lead and continuing to add to it, crossing the finish line of the five-kilometre event in 17 minutes, 39 seconds. “With all my friends and my family, it was just a great feeling to come down and see everyone there waiting for me,” Owen recalls. “My brothers and my dad have all done it, so I really wanted to do it. It’s very exciting.”
DAN PLOUFFE/METROLAND
A mass of runners approaches a hill during the national capital high school cross-country running championships on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at Mooney’s Bay. The top athletes advance to the provincials. The four Day males sometimes run together in the woods near their house, although Mickey and Kieran are the more frequent running pair since their gap in age isn’t as significant as ability level. “We probably should start bringing (Owen) along now,” says Mickey, who won his 7K race in 21:41. “He trains a lot harder than my older brother or I had at that age. I’m ex-
pecting good things from him this year. He’s got two older brothers, so he’s got to try to go after us with everything he’s got.” Mickey ran alongside A.Y. Jackson Secondary School athletes Brendon Howard and Alec Jarvis for most of the race until making his break after a hill and cruising in for a 57-second victory. He missed having last year’s na-
tional capital silver medalist Alex Berhe to push him in the race, however. The pair are always side-by-side in races, but Berhe wasn’t able to compete since his Woodroffe school did not enter a team due to the teachers’ labour dispute with the province. “He’s really fast and a great guy. He’s very fun to run with,” Mickey said. “Him and his coach came to visit and
watch the race, so that was nice.” Howard and Jarvis were also affected by the labour conflict. They’d moved into training programs for crosscountry skiing and triathlon respectively for a two-week period before their fall season was resurrected when parents stepped up to coach the team. Around a dozen Ottawa public school board teams
were missing from this year’s event, including one of the usual powerhouses, Colonel By. Regardless of who lined up, the Glebe Collegiate Institute junior girls team of Katherine Marshall, Alexa Livingstone, Claire Smith, Zoe Pritchard and Emma Barrett were prepared to take anyone on.

Earl of March student wins individual race Continued from page 31
training with their top competitors, the Glebe team members enjoy having each other there during races. They ran as a bright yellow pack in the city final, along with one streak of blue from St. Joseph’s Meagan Adams. “It makes the races a lot less scary when you’re running it with people that you know,” said Smith, who’s hoping previous OFSAA experience under their belts will pay dividends. “Last year we didn’t know what to expect. It was really
intimidating. So hopefully this year we’ll be more prepared.” The other individual race winners were Brookfield’s Olivia Robertson (senior girls), Glebe’s Alex Bernst (junior boys) and Earl of March’s Sophie Rodenburg (midget girls). Glebe came within one race of sweeping every team competition, missing only the senior boys’ crown, where Nepean edged them in a tiebreaker as both schools finished with 69 points.

The Glebe junior girls moved in a pack to the finish line, claiming four of the first five places and all three podium positions at the national capital high school cross-country running championships on Oct. 17.
R0011693085_1025
The Glebe Collegiate Institute junior girls team earned a remarkable four of the first five positions, and five of the top seven, en route to a near-perfect team score of 11 placement points. As midgets last year, the Glebe girls earned antiquebronze for fourth place at the OFSAA provincial championships, and are poised to make a run for the top spot on the podium this year. The team is boosted by newcomers Mar-

Mosquito Knights win quarterfinal playoff match Kanata Knights Football Club
EMC sports - The Kanata Knights finished their first round of the National Capital Amateur Football Association’s playoffs with a win and two losses. The Mosquito Knights defeated the East Ottawa Generals 56-12 at Robert Barr Football Field on Sunday, Oct. 21. The Tyke Knights lost 31-18 against the Gatineau Vikings at home and the peewee Knights lost 15-6 against the Gloucester South Raiders at Barry Hawley Memorial Field in Leitrim, with both games played on Oct. 21. The midget Knights play their first playoff game next weekend after finishing the season with a 49-0 victory over the Nouvelles Frontieres Arsenal at the University of Quebec field on Oct. 20. TYKES
The Knights played a hard-fought quarterfinal game against the Gatineau Vikings but came up short with a final score of 31-18. The Knights’ offensive charge was led by Stephan duPlooy, who had a total of 104 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Devaughn Blackwood scored the Knights’ third touchdown, following a 38-yard carry. Aaron Chase and Nicholas Allarie were the muscle behind the running game accumulating nine crucial first downs to keep the offence moving in key situations.
The defence put together their own charge led by Evan Wakeman with three solos tackles, 13 assists and one batted ball. Jack McCrady, Brennan Walsh, Joe Brennan, Brody Bampton and Denny Ferdinand also caused havoc for the Vikings with a combined 40 tackles. The Knights are looking forward to taking a run for the championship when they play the Bell Warriors this weekend. MOSQUITO
Kanata scored on its first three possessions and never looked back in a 56-12 win over the East Ottawa Generals. Six running touchdowns were scored by five different players including David Wardowski, Adam Ogilvie and Jared Valentino. Connor Ogilvie ran for 91 yards on just three plays and scored two touchdowns. Britton Quirk was calm on his point after attempts going seven for seven and he also showed patience scoring a touchdown on a 12-yard run behind an offensive line that blocked with perfection all day long and accumulated 11 first downs. The Knights also showed their diversity in the passing game throwing to a multitude of players. Wide receivers Josh Lapensee, Tony Zeidan and Josh Brown caught passes for 10, 25 and 40 yards respectively. Four offensive linemen; Milo Venier, Ryan Beaupre, Alex Belliveau
and Greg Harris were used as wide receivers during the game and each caught a pass with Greg carrying his to the end zone for a score. When the Generals had the ball on offense it wasn’t for long as hard hitting tackles by Justin Malloy, Connor Sigouin, Eithan Hards, Bryce Mclean and Corey Bolivar made for short East Ottawa possessions including two fumbles that were recovered by Jarod Wakeman and Jay Vitagliano. Next week’s opponent, the Cornwall Wildcats, is sure to be a “tough mudder” affair. PEEWEE
The Knights lost 15-6 in their first playoff game Sunday, Oct. 21 against the Gloucester South Raiders. Buoyed by a touchdown from teammate Patrick Massia, the Knights held strong throughout the game. Demonstrating great runs, passes and catches were offensive players Ashton Vanasse, Jacob Cuffley, Brady Tran, Luke Morrison, Tyler Rehman and Garrett Kirk who worked hard at advancing the ball and keeping the Knights in the game. The real stars of this match-up were the Knights’ defence who kept the Raiders – normally a high scoring team – under their thumb. Strong blocking and tackling from Michael Kraeker, Alex Polataiko, Jordan Porter, Dylan Lachance, Tristen Hubley, Thomas Patridge and Dylan Walker stopped the Raid-
ers from playing their usual game and provided a match that was exciting, entertaining and well played. The Knights head next into round two of playoff action against the Nepean Redskins. MIDGET
The Knights head into the playoffs on a high after thumping the Arsenal 49-0 in the final game of the regular season. The offense moved the ball consistently, only punting twice the entire game – a game that showcased the Knights’ balanced attack. Quarterback Matt Duffy led the air assault with eight completions for 221 yards and three touchdowns. Quarterback Nick Krzaniak had six completions for 80 yards adding a one-yard rushing touchdown on his only carry. The receiving core had 15 catches for 301 yards and three touchdowns. Wide receiver Jagaer Prot was phenomenal with six catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns, while wide receiver Cassidy Malenfant had three catches for 57 yards and a touchdown (36 yards). Kudos also go to wide receiver Josh Bourbonniere, who carried the ball three times for 49 yards, wide receiver Andy Baxter – one for 20 yards, tight end Jason Lachance, one for 19 yards and running back Cassy Aite – one for 14 yards. On the ground, the Knights exploded for 195 yards and four touchdowns on 30 carries. Aite
(nine carries for 100 yards and two touchdowns) and Jacob Legault (11 carries for70 yards) carved up the Arsenal. Chris Bumstead (6 for 13 yards), Matt Duffy (three for 11) and Nick Krzaniak (one for a one-yard touchdown) also had a great game. A solid game by the Knights’ defence kept Arsenal off balance and off the score sheet. Leading the hit parade was linebacker Brad Herbst (two solos, seven assists, one batted ball), and defensive back John Allarie (one solo, five assists and a sack.) Defensive back Jordan Gorgachuk added one solo, three assists and one interception for a 24-yard return. Defensive linesman Conner Brydes played well with one solo, four assists and a fumble recovery. Defensive back Emil Aite also had a fumble recovery. The remaining tackles came from defensive linesman Evan Yorth – two solos, three assists and the rest of the Knights defence (Taylor Jackson, Lukas Sauve, Hunter Bisschops , Sebastian Mordak , Shawn O’Neill, Sebastian Rios, Jason Tuepah , Jakob Nedergaard, Peter Spadaccini, Wade Gordon) with 23 combined for 23 tackles. On special teams, wide receiver Prot was only called on to punt twice for 62 yards, while he had five punt returns for 160 yards. Yorth kicked off five times for 162 yards while Aite was a perfect 7-7 on points after touchdowns.

It was a repeat performance for the sisters who both won their regional meets the week prior to the board championships. The sisters share a dream of one day competing internationally. “My dream is to run in the Olympics and Olympic marathon,” said Shona.

Building community through art Sarah Trant
EMC news - Long-time artist Mary-Etta Devlin knew there were others who shared her passion in Beaverbrookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Atrium condo where she resides. But she had no idea how many, how skilled, or how productive they were until she got the idea to hold a vernissage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just last year the residents decided to form an arts group which included everything â&#x20AC;&#x201C; crafts, music and art,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an artist, I felt I was only qualified to deal with the art side and that, I guess, is how this all started.â&#x20AC;? The group came together and grew to 18 artists working in everything from watercolours and acrylics, to pen and ink, and batik. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had no idea there were that many in our building,â&#x20AC;? she said Devlin decided that a vernissage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a public art show and sale â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would be a way of not only showcasing the talent of her group, but also â&#x20AC;&#x153;getting some of the newcomers involved.â&#x20AC;?
â&#x20AC;&#x153;New people come into a complex like ours, you meet each other in the halls and say hello, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where it stops. Doors open, and doors close and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Newcomers are a little shy, and people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived here for a long time have already formed their friendships. It can be hard to build bridges.â&#x20AC;? The display drew a steady stream of people both from inside the building as well as members of the public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was amazed at how many came in,â&#x20AC;? said Devlin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had requests from a lot of our new residents who wanted not only to join the group, but have (art) lessons. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have had a better way to reach out to our newcomers and strengthen the community ties here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best of all, one of our older resident artists, Bill Campbell â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who does exquisite work in pen and ink â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had been failing for some time. When he heard that his work was going to be exhibited he seemed to turn a corner. He not only attended the show but enjoyed it thoroughly.â&#x20AC;?

A group of residents from the Atriums building in Beaverbrook have started an art group to build community spirit.

Childhood rival swings into action
M
y little friend Velma and I met at the back fence behind the Northcote School. Her feelings about Marguirite were just about the same as mine. How much do you want to bet she is still in her white store-bought underwear that her mother buys in Walkers Store? Our eyes travelled over towards the gate where Marguirite was trying to work herself into a group of Senior Fourth girls who obviously
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories wanted no part of her either. The less any of us had to do with the girl, the better we liked it. It wasn’t that she was so bad, even though we all
called her “bad Marguirite.” It was just that she was so privileged. Being an only child gave her a decided advantage and also gave her a sense of self-importance that
none of us could tolerate. I was very aware of the heavy navy blue fleece lined bloomers I had been forced into a week ago. The weather now had a nip in the air and even a few snowflakes had fallen. There was no doubt fall was upon us and winter wasn’t far behind. It was a long walk to the Northcote School and we never knew when the weather was going to change and catch us without warm clothes. So Mother had long

since ordered my sister Audrey into heavier white warm underpants and me into the navy blue fleece lined bloomers we got from the Eaton’s catalogue. I hated them with a passion. “Bet a dollar she doesn’t even own a pair of those bloomers,” Velma said. We looked over at Marguirite. There she was, bouncing around like a rubber ball in a brand new plaid coat with velvet collar, white stockings and her usual black patent leather Mary Jane shoes. “If I had a dollar, I would take you up on that Velma,” I said. “Everyone our age wears those navy bloomers. And I am pretty sure Marguirite’s mother would have her in them by now.” “I don’t think so,” Velma said. With slitted eyes we watched Marguirite at the swinging gate. It was then Velma had a most brilliant idea. It would involve Cecil of course. Everything that had a bit of a risk to it, always involved Cecil. Velma told me to follow her. I was used to that order and walked with Velma over to the gate. The gate had to be kept hooked, because it was on a slant and slammed shut otherwise. Velma called Cecil aside. That in itself was unusual. Cecil had very little to do with we younger girls at the Northcote School. But I saw Velma take something out of her lunch bag and hand it over to Cecil and I saw him nodding and looking over at Marguirite. “Who wants to swing on the gate?” Cecil hollered. We all loved to swing on the gate, and Marguirite was no exception. The young girls from Junior Third all yelled at once, but since the gate would only hold one at a time, Cecil pointed to Marguirite and said she could go first. Velma beckoned me over and we stood close to the action.
Cecil said you could get a better swing if you put yourself higher on the gate and bent over. He made Marguirite climb up near the top and then pushed her over so that her head was hanging down on the other side of the gate. I was surprised she went for it. Marguirite never took orders from anyone. Cecil stood on the side of the gate where her head was, and he ran the gate closed and then gave it a mighty heave and running, swung it wide open. Marguirite squealed with glee and Cecil gave her another ride for good measure. Then when the ride was over he accidentally pushed her off to the ground and she went spread eagle, head over tea kettle. I have no idea how he did it, but Cecil was able to have her land with her new plaid coat and everything under it around her shoulders. There for the entire Northcote School to see was her storebought underwear from Walker Store, as white as the driven snow. No navy blue fleece lined bloomers for Marguirite. Velma just smiled in my direction, nodded to Cecil and we all lined up to go into school as Miss Crosby stood on the step ringing the big brass bell. I asked Velma how she was able to get Cecil into the act. She said it cost her two molasses cookies. That night at home, without giving Mother the details (I knew she would never approve of such shenanigans), I told her that Marguirite didn’t have to wear navy blue fleece lined bloomers and I could see no reason why I had to. Mother said she didn’t care if even Princess Margaret Rose didn’t wear them or didn’t even own a pair, I would be wearing the navy blue fleece lined bloomers and there would be no further discussion.

After 34 years, I leave you with a fond farewell
M
any of you have followed my cooking column, Food and Stuff, since it first appeared in the Smiths Falls EMC in 1978. Now, it reaches 500,000 households covering the area from Ottawa to Prescott, from Norwood to Trenton, and almost every community in between. It’s come a long way in those 34 years. I love cooking and I love experimenting to find out how a new dish will taste. I wish I could explain how much I’ve enjoyed creating hundreds of new recipes and sharing them with you. My reward has come every time that someone comes up to me and tells me how much they enjoy my column. When they tell me that they make a lot of my recipes, I’m delighted because that has always been my goal – to give you recipes that you will make and enjoy in your own kitchen. No matter who I talk to, I hear the same comment about my recipes again and again. They are easy to prepare with ingredients that you have on hand. This year, my life suddenly took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with lung cancer. Needless to say, this
PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff came as a complete shock, particularly as I had never smoked. I am now undergoing treatment and have had to make major changes in my life. As a result, this will be my last cooking column. I have enjoyed writing about cooking for many years, and I know that I will miss it. I am giving you one last recipe, Jennie’s brownies. They are very easy to make and everyone loves them. Make them often and enjoy every delicious bite. JENNIE’S BROWNIES
• about 1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder to dust the baking pan • 1/2 cup butter • 1 cup white sugar • 2 eggs, well beaten with a fork • 1/2 cup flour • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not hot chocolate mix) • 1 tsp. vanilla • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Butter the bottom and sides of a 20-centimetre square cake pan. Sprinkle one tsp. of cocoa powder over the buttered surfaces. Tap the pan to spread the powder evenly and discard any excess. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350 F (175 C) for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the pan comes out clean. Cool the pan on a wire rack. These are good with or without icing. Editors note: This is Pat Trew’s final Food ’n’ Stuff column for the Kourier-Standard. We encourage readers who have enjoyed her writing and recipes to send us a letter to the editor to share a favourite column or recipe of Pat’s over the years.

SERVING KANATA NORTH SUBMITTED
City Councillor, Kanata North 2013 CITY BUDGET TThe 2013 City Budget was tabled on October 24. The budget includes efficiencies to reduce costs and improve services such as the maintenance of buildings, roads, and other infrastructure. Part of the budget is a continuation Ottawa Moves, which includes projects that were funded in 2012 with a two-year implementation program. Ottawa Moves is rebuilding and replacing aging water, sewer, roads and sidewalks to maintain our infrastructure in good condition. There are few new projects as we have just started construction at Lansdowne Park and will start construction of the Light Rail project early in 2013. Despite being cautious with spending, there will be some improvements to cycling and pedestrian systems and funding is provided in this budget for the start up of the Richcraft Recreation Complex, which will open in the fall of 2013.
NEW GARBAGE COLLECTION STARTS MONDAY Biweekly collection starts on Monday, October 29. I recommend that you check the calendar delivered to your home, or go to ottawa.ca and click on Garbage and Recycling on the main page and then on collection calendar. Insert your address to get a calendar for the next month showing what will be picked up each collection day. You can also sign up for alerts prior to each pickup date. For special diaper and incontinence pick-ups on nongarbage weeks, you must register at ottawa.ca or call 311. There is a lot of information on the City website that will help you to adjust to the new collection regime. Weekly service for the green bin continues. Pick-up of the blue box, black box and residual garbage will be every two weeks. It will take some adjustment, but the end objective of keeping waste out of landfills will be worth it.

Students from St. Martin de Porres Catholic Elementary School take part in the second-annual Terry Fox Run on Sept. 28. The school raised more than $1,500 for cancer research.
Students raise $1,500 for cancer research St. Martin de Porres Catholic Elementary School
commence their trek, symbolizing how Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope many years ago. St. Martin’s raised $1,534 towards cancer research, which is double what was raised last year. One of the incentives for the students was to enter a raffle to win a chance to be Principal for a Day. It was a rewarding experience for everyone.

St. Martin de Porres Catholic Elementary School’s entire student population – from junior kindergarten to Grade 6 – participated in the school’s second-annual Terry Fox Run and Walk event on Sept. 28. An exciting, energetic and worthwhile event, the Run raises awareness and money towards cancer research.
Nancy Conway, a grade 1 and 2 teacher, organized the fun-filled event, and there were many parent volunteers helping out as St. Martin’s school yard turned into a mini Marathon of Hope. The children ran, jogged or walked around the school yard, which was divided into stations representing all of the provinces and territories of Canada. Each child dipped their foot in the “Atlantic Ocean Pool” to

EMC events - Halloween may be over after Oct. 31, but you can stay in the spirit until Saturday, Nov. 3, with a concert of spooky favourites presented by the Kanata Symphony Orchestra. Sure to appeal to the whole family, the fun begins at 7 p.m. at Glen Cairn United Church, located at 140 Abbeyhill Rd. On the program is In the Hall of the Mountain King by Grieg, and Mussorgskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Night on Bald Mountain, plus excerpts from his Pictures at an Exhibition. Rounding out the evening are Fossils and the ever-popular Danse Macabre, both by Saint-SaĂŤns. In the Hall of the Mountain King is a movement from the Peer Gynt Suite, which is the musical accompaniment to a five-act play of the same name. It chronicles a boy who undertakes an epic voyage around the world and encounters many adventures in foreign lands. This particular movement describes Peer Gyntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s misadventure in the underground Kingdom of the Trolls. The progressively accelerating
and loudening music conveys the threat of the trolls creeping up on Peer, as they approach faster and faster and he narrowly escapes. Night on the Bald Mountain is one of composer Modest Mussorgskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most wellknown pieces. Excerpts from this piece figured prominently in the 1940 film Fantasia. Inspired by Russian literature and legend, this work describes a witchesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sabbath, conjuring up dark spirits on a bleak, treeless mountaintop, making it a chilling Halloween favourite. At the height of the witchesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; frenzy, the bell of the village church is heard, and the evil spirits are dispersed with the coming of daybreak. Mussorgsky wrote Pictures at an Exhibition in commemoration of his friend Viktor Hartmann, who was an artist and architect. The music was inspired by an exhibition of Hartmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paintings and depicts an imaginary tour of an art collection, with titles of individual movements alluding to specific works. We will be performing two movements: Catacombae and The Hut on Fowlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legs (Baba Yaga).
Catacombae depicts the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foray into the Paris Catacombs. The Hut on Fowlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legs (Baba Yaga) describes the hut, perched on henâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legs, of Baba Yaga, the vicious witch of Slavic legend. The Carnival of the Animals is a work in 14 movements, each representing a particular animal. It was initially written as a musical joke, and Fossils is very much a parody. Here, Saint-SaĂŤns wove together numerous overlyfamiliar melodies of his day, including French nursery rhymes, a piece of a famous opera aria, and even motifs from his own Danse Macabre. Saint-SaĂŤns likely felt these melodies were so famous that they had become akin to museum fossils. The Danse Macabre, is a symphonic poem based on old French superstition. According to legend, Death appears at midnight every year on Halloween. Death calls forth the dead from their graves to dance their â&#x20AC;&#x153;dance of deathâ&#x20AC;? for him while he plays his fiddle. His skeletons dance for him until the rooster crows at dawn, when they must return to their graves until the next year. The image of Death as a fiddler appears in the works of several composers. In this composition, Death is represented by a solo violin, whose
