Phone calls overload city’s info call centre 311 line hangs up on residents who lost water service in Morgan’s Grant BLAIR EDWARDS KOURIER-STANDARD Morgan’s Grant residents phoning to complain about a loss of water service overloaded the City of Ottawa’s 311 service last week. A contractor accidently knocked off a cap to a water main on the corner of March and Klondike roads on Tuesday, Aug. 17, causing a loss of water service from 8 to 10:30 p.m for hundreds of residents. The city’s call centre was overwhelmed with phone calls from Morgan’s Grant residents complaining about the loss of service, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. The call centre had an evening skeleton staff and couldn’t answer the deluge of phone calls quickly enough, said Wilkinson, and the automated system couldn’t have that many people on hold. In many cases the call centre’s automated answering machine simply

hung up on people or refused to take phone calls, said Wilkinson. “They just cut them off,” she said. “The system couldn’t cope. “Everybody called at once,” she added. “They just weren’t prepared for it.” Wilkinson said she has asked for a review of the service. “It is disturbing that residents could not easily find out what had happened and when their service could be restored.” The incident highlights the need for upgrades to the 311 service, said Wilkinson. City council approved the upgrades after the call centre was overwhelmed by calls last year when a huge rainstorm flooded the basements of hundreds of west-end residents. The contract for software upgrades to the call centre’s automated information line will go to tender this fall. blair.edwards@metroland.com

She left one community to help those in another in January 2009. Tara Cawley decided to pack her bags and head up north to work as a police officer in Akulivik, a community in Nunivik, Que. “I love working in a small community; everyone knows who you are,” said the 23-year-old constable with the Kativik Regional Police Force. “Inuits are very welcoming people. And the scenery is beauti-

ful.” Cawley grew up in Katimavik and Glen Cairn, graduating from Holy Trinity Catholic High School before moving on to Algonquin College to pursue an education in police foundations. She then took the bylaw summer student program where she met a man who had completed a contract up north. “He said he thought with my personality and work ethics I would work well in a small community up north,” said Cawley. “I wanted to become a police officer, to find a job where I could help people and work with a community.” And she found one. LEARNING THE CULTURE Cawley has picked up many of the traditional skills in the primarily Inuit village, thanks to the instruction of the residents. “They want to teach you the culture,” she said. “They want you to be involved in it. They taught me to make traditional Inuit mitts, made with leather or suede and fur. I’m going to learn how to make everything – knit hats, fur and leather boots, an amautik, which is a type of baby carrier and parkas.”

She said she even enjoys foods she never thought she’d try before such as raw, frozen caribou, seal ribs and liver boiled with onions and spices, beluga and seal. “Country food is what they call it,” said Cawley. The officers, in turn, held a community day at the one school in Akulivik where they provided lunch for the children. “The kids are so cute,” said Cawley. “They always want to walk with you, they’re always asking questions. They follow you around.” And the adults are just as welcoming. “In my community the people have a lot of respect for us. They’ll bring country food to our door or invite us to dinner.” One thing that helps the police officers to build a connection with the community is to stay longer than the required four months in a first contract. “When people return from vacation, from training, they gain more respect,” said Cawley. “My community was excited I came back (after training). That I wasn’t just leaving after that. That helped me build a stronger rapport with them.” WEATHER WONDER Summer in Akulivik lasts from June to September, said Cawley, with an average temperature of 15 C. But she said she finds it warmer up north when the sun is out because it’s a dry heat, as opposed to the humidity in Ottawa. The winters are the same. Although the temperature can dip drastically, she said she finds Ottawa much chillier. “I find winters here in Ottawa colder than up north because it’s a wet cold in Ottawa that freezes you to the bones, as opposed to a dry cold up there. But the blizzards are awesome. NORTHERN COP, SEE 5

You can walk down the street and stick out your hand and not be able to see it in front of your face.” This weather can put a little bit of pressure on the officers, but nothing they can’t handle, she said. “There have been times where the weather has been so bad our truck can’t get through the snow drifts and we’ve had to walk to calls.” But she said that’s a rarity. “The calls we get are very similar as what I would expect to get down here,” said Cawley. “But being in a smaller community we see more; there’s no switchover of officers.” THREE COP TOWN With a smaller population, there are only three police officers in the community. There is always one on patrol, one on call and one off duty. Cawley said they all work well together and her partners said they enjoy working in

Akulivik. “It’s always an adventure,” said Jason Rivet from Sturgeon Falls and whose father lives in Stittsville. “It’s like the last frontier of Canada. It’s still developing.” Sheldon Best Green, who’s originally from Perth and attended Algonquin College for police foundations, said the best part for him is “the land, going hunting and experiencing the differences in culture.” Cawley said she plans to stay a minimum of three more years before trying to apply to the Ottawa police service. “I love it,” she said about working in her community. She even adopted her puppy Rocky from one of the locals. Rocky is part husky, part wolf and part karelian bear dog, and the locals want to try and train him as a sled dog. “It’s not really a well-used mode of transportation within the community, but more well-used to take people between communities,” said Cawley, who added, “We do not live in igloos. We live in houses.” jessica.cunha@metroland.com

OPINION EDITORIAL

LETTER

C is for crises

Take a hike

When a person has a number of irrational assertions to make – all in a row – and they want to avoid succumbing to reasoned responses from reliable critics, they best speak during the summer. Not unlike the Conservative government has done this year. First up? Doing away with Canada’s six prison farms. It was a system many experts would argue was working just fine. Inmates learned something besides how to become gang members; they learned about empathy and responsibility. But conservatives would call that mollycoddling of thugs who deserve to suffer 24-7. (As if that will prepare them for life on the outside.) Sure, selling the farms will generate a bit of short-term revenue for the feds. But where will the millions more it costs to feed inmates come from? Next up? Treasury Board president Stockwell Day says Canada needs to spend billions of dollars on expanding prisons. Never mind that crime rates have fallen during the last 20 years, there are “unreported crimes” to solve, though Day offered no hard evidence to prove the claim. And yet the obvious comes to mind: why build more prisons for suspects who aren’t facing charges? Not just that, but it seems the theory behind the government’s claim of non-reporting of crime runs like this: victims doubt police officers will solve the crime, so why bother reporting it. Does the Conservative government have such little faith in police forces across this country? Is policing getting worse at the same time as we put more money into equipment and manpower? Day cited a yet-to-be-released report from Statistics Canada for some of his argument favouring more prisons. Which brings us to his government’s third foolish move of the summer: eliminating the long-form census. Some of the information Day used comes from that program. No doubt this is about playing to the party’s base. But it also reveals a glaring contradiction in Conservative thinking. If something works, conservatives usually say don’t change it. Seeking out success stories and changing them is a bad idea no matter the party in charge.

Take part in a hike through the South March Highlands conservation park park this weekend. The South March Highlands Conservation committee is meeting at the intersection of Klondike Road and Second Line Road on Aug. 29 starting at 1:30 p.m. Participants will meet besides a blue sign describing the hike. The hike will travel along some of the intermediat level mountain bike trails and will cover a variety of terrain from forest to wetlands. The tour guides are familiar with the trees, the plants and wildlife. Keep an eye out for Blanding turtles — it’s getting close to turtle-hatching time. Participants in the hike will also see some of the trail work done by the Ottawa Mountain Bike Association including the newest technique of rock bridges to allow drainage under the trails. Good footwear is recommended — sturdy walking shoes. Donations are appreciated. For more information call 613839-5217.

COMMENT

Lessons from China It is great that Canada and China have established a relationship for 40 years now. I left Ottawa for China early this June, two weeks before Chinese President Hu Jintao visited Ottawa. From what I experienced recently, there are many things we could learn from the Chinese. The locals in China seem to be very efficient in terms of production and everyday life. EXPO The Shanghai World Expo this year blew me away. It was the largest World Expo ever. On top of completing the construction in approximately one year, the committee was able to manage the massive visitor traffic. When I was there in early June, there were around 500,000 visitors that day from across the country and around the

world. You might ask how it is possible to have so many visitors. The answer is tour buses. The tour bus parking lot I arrived at seemed to have no end – and there are 35 such parking lots. To manage local ticketing, every family in Shanghai receives one free Expo ticket, plus 200 Yuan worth in transportation passes. Notice Shanghai has close to 20 million people. The highway construction in Ottawa west took approximately three years to be completed when it should not have. A road closure caused the bike path to be blocked and a detour had to be taken for the entire three years. Compared to Ottawa, the Chinese drive faster with more vehicles on the road. “If you can drive in China, you can drive in the rest of the world.” said a local tour guide.

Cars, motorcycles, and pedestrians were crammed together, yet I didn’t see any accidents and people went about their business at a quick pace. I’m not suggesting that our traffic conditions should be like those in China, but we could learn to take shortcuts when it is safe. CONSERVATION The Chinese locals have practices of energy and water conservation. Walking past apartments in places big and small, I saw laundry hanging outside every window. This is the same even in Shanghai and Beijing. Most locals do not use dryers. Many still practice hand washing in washbowls with brush and soap. Every household I visited had tons of washbowls and buckets.

KOURIER-STANDARD STAFF The Ottawa police arson unit is investigating a fire at Georges Vanier Catholic School on Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 18, only a few weeks before classes start. Police say an arsonist set fire to cardboard boxes in a school classroom at around 3:37 p.m. The classroom windows were broken possibly indicating a point of entry. The classroom was soon “heavily” engulfed in flame said Marc Messier, a spokesperson with the Ottawa fire department. Firefighters contained the blaze to one classroom but the school suffered heavy smoke damage, said Messier. Police estimate the fire caused $75,000 in damage to the school, which is located on 40 Varley Dr. in Beaverbrook. No one was injured by the fire. “Schools are unfortunately open areas,” said Sgt. Dave Christie, with the Ottawa police arson unit. “They often are a target of vandalism.” Restoration work at Georges Vanier will not delay the opening on Sept. 7, said Mardi de Kemp, spokesperson for the Ottawa Catholic School Board. “There may be some areas of the school that are still being cleaned and restored,” said De Kemp, adding that other than that it will be “business as usual.”

BICYCLE FRIENDLY Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province has a city-wide free bicycle sharing system with 50,000 bikes and bike sharing stations located every at sites every 100 metres, surpassing Paris’s 20,000 bikes in their sharing system and bike stations every 300 metres. There are very few motorcyclers in Hangzhou compared to other cities. Since almost every Ottawa household has bicycles, we should think with an environmentally-friendly mind and use bicycles more often for close places such as grocery stores, friends’ houses in the same area, and even work. Every country has its strengths and weaknesses. We will only better ourselves if we learn from other’s strong points. Thus, despite the criticisms, there are many aspects we could learn from the locals in China.

Arsonist sets fire to Georges Vanier

A washbowl usually uses less water than running tap and in poorer areas, the wash water is sometimes used for plants or flushing the toilet. I’m not suggesting we start using washbowls, but we could install more sensory taps in public places and private homes. Nor am I suggesting we stop using dryers, but we could use less lights in office buildings after working hours and remind ourselves to turn off lights after we leave a room.

River watcher hopeful River Summit to unite groups DEREK DUNN KOURIER-STANDARD A one-day event set for tomorrow will see stakeholders from both sides of the Ottawa River come together for a round-table talk on the health and future of the river and its tributaries. First Nations leaders, elected ofﬁcials and municipal staff from large and small communities will share watershed data and promote restoration and protection projects. Called Ottawa River Summit 2010, the

event is hosted by the National Capital Commission and Ottawa Riverkeeper; the latter being an independent non-proﬁt organization with a stewardship mandate. Along with 28 municipalities and ﬁve aboriginal groups, sine watershed organizations and conservation authorities will participate. Constance Bay’s Hank Jones is a volunteer at Ottawa Riverkeeper. He favours the idea of having various groups come together, but sees the jurisdictional challenges faced. “There are so many people with a stake in the river, but not one group that represents

it,” Jones said. “I like the idea (of the group coming together.) I hope they can get a lot accomplished.” He said the Ottawa River has “some problems” but that it is in decent shape compared to others in North America. RIVER WATCHER Jones was appointed “river watcher” on behalf of Ottawa Riverkeeper in spring. It is a ﬁrst for West Carleton. He explained that his role is to keep an eye out for irregularities on all bodies of water in the region.

“I do some observations myself, but I’m just one person,” he said. “I would like people who have concerns to let me know so I can pass them along to the riverkeeper (Meredith Brown).” He said people continue to dump sewage and other waste into area bodies of water, but that his group doesn’t have the authority to issue ﬁnes or to take other measures. If you are concerned that an activity is having harmful effects on the river, Jones invites you to call him at (613) 832-2745. derek.dunn@metroland.com

outing every month. Last year the club visited: • Upper Canada Village during December to see the Christmas lights. • Temple’s Sugar Bush in Lanark County. • Cornwall for lunch and a trip to the theatre. • Chateau Montebello, for a buffet lunch and an outing at the nearby nature park. • Centrepointe Theatre for a Goya Theatre performance. • Regional Spring Fling luncheon (hosted by a different Probus Club every year). The first Probus club formed in Saskatchewan in the early 1920s and was an acronym for professional business people. There are now more than 208 chartered Probus clubs in Canada with more than 28,000 members. blair.edwards@metroland.com

The Probus Club of Kanata is changing its name to reflect its growing membership across the City of Ottawa. Starting in September, it will be known as the Probus Club of Western Ottawa. “We’ve grown and more of our members are coming from outside of Kanata,” said Harry Needham, the club’s spokesperson. The club, which formed 12 years ago, now boasts 128 members, two thirds of whom reside outside Kanata, said Needham. Probus is a social group for seniors who meet monthly at the Kanata United Church to listen to a guest speaker. Many are present or former members of local service clubs. Anyone can join, but the meetings are held on Tuesday mornings starting at 10 a.m., which usually restricts the membership to the self-employed or retirees, said Needham. Every December the club invites a Royal Canadian Legion speaker who represents a charity and members are encouraged to donate to Kanata Branch 638 the organization. This year’s list of potential speakers are (some haven’t been contacted yet): Weekly Sunday Bingo • Sept. 14: Investigative author returns to the Kanata Robert Knuckle discusses The MayLegion on Labour Day erthorpe Incident, his book about the weekend September 5th at 1:00 p.m. four RCMP officers killed by a gunman on a farm near Mayerthorpe, For more info 613-591-5570 Alta. in 2005. 70 Hines Rd. - Kanata • October: David Hughes, from the

Pirates win Ontario girls softball championship BLAIR EDWARDS KOURIER-STANDARD The Kanata Pirates finished their Cinderella season with a comefrom-behind victory at the Ontario house-league peewee girls softball championship. The Pirates finished 5-0 at the Provincial Women’s Softball Association’s peewee (13-14 age group) championship game, held at Unionville, Ont. from Aug. 21 to 22. “We were elated,” said Pirates head coach Chris Wigglesworth. “We could sort of see all the hard work put in paid off.” COMEBACK WIN The Pirates fell behind by three runs early in the final against the Orleans Rebels before they tied the game in the seventh inning. Morgan Beal stole home in the eighth inning off a passed ball to score the game’s winning run and secure a 7-6 victory. Nineteen teams from across Ontario competed in the tournament. The Pirates defeated Scarborough 7-0, Burlington 26-3, Brampton 7-0 and Whitby 9-2, to earn a berth in the final against Orleans. The Pirates enjoyed a short-lived three run lead in final until the Rebels batted in six in the bottom of the first inning. Kanata chipped away at Orleans’ 6-3 lead, scoring two in the fifth.

In the seventh inning, Taylor Sachs singled, stole second base and then reached third on an error. Sachs scored on a groundout by Jamie Steenbakkers to tie the game. Pirates ace Brooklyn McIntyre shut down the rebels in the bottom of the seventh. “We knew we could hold them,” said Steenbakkers. The game moved to extra innings, and under international softball rules, each team started the eighth inning with a runner on second base. Pirate Maddy McConomy bunted Morgan Beal to third base, who scored the winning run, by sliding under the tag following a passed ball. McIntyre shut down the Rebels in the eighth, striking out two and grounding out a player for the third out. “It felt really good,” said Steenbakkers, 13. “Playing our rivals in the finals, that just made that much better.” The Pirates are used to come backs, said Wigglesworth. Kanata held a 4-8 record during regular season play, before winning 11 games in a row, starting in mid-July. “The team peaked at the right time,” said Wigglesworth. “It’s just astounding how they gelled together and had fun doing it.” blair.edwards@metroland.com

Stallions hire Dewan as head coach with the Stallions breaking the CJHL’s longest winless streak record with 26 losses in a row.

BLAIR EDWARDS KOURIER-STANDARD A former assistant coach of the Ottawa 67’s has taken over as the new bench boss of the Kanata Stallions. With only a few weeks before the regular season starts, the Stallions introduced Adam Dewan as the team’s new head coach. After running through four head coaches over the past two years, the Stallions were looking for stability, said Lou Nistico, the team’s general manager. “We wanted some continuity going into the next couple of years,” said Nistico. “We wanted a guy for two years.” Dewan will replace Vince Malette, who left the team earlier this month after accepting a job as head coach of a team in the German Elite League. Malette, a former assistant coach of the Ottawa 67’s and head coach of the Peterborough Petes in the Ontario Hockey League, took over as Stallions head coach 11 games into the season last year, replacing Chris Valentine. Valentine was hired in April 2009 to replace Justin Nistico, son of the Stallions’ general manager, after Valentine failed to lead the team into the playoffs. Valentine, a former NHL player and coach in the German Elite League, was replaced as head coach after the Stallions lost 10 games in a row after winning the season opener. The Stallions horrible start continued

DISCIPLINE Dewan is a no-nonsense type of coach who expects results, said Nistico. “(But) I think he’s going to end up being a players’ coach,” he said. The trap or high-octane offence – Nistico doesn’t care what kind of system Dewan brings to the Stallions. “We just want to win.” It’s difficult to comment on a team

DEWAN Dewan, 30, grew up playing minor league hockey in Kanata and for the Ottawa Valley Titans before he was drafted by the Peterborough Petes and then played professionally in Germany. In 2005, Dewan was head coach of the junior B Arnprior Packers and has also helped behind the bench as an assistant coach for the Stallions. Dewan was an assistant coach (video and defense) with the Ottawa 67’s last year. Dewan, who is employed full time by the City of Ottawa’s roads department, said he had to leave the 67’s because he couldn’t balance his on-ice duties with his work schedule. Former assistant coach Alex Armstrong returns to the Stallions to assist Dewan, who said he still needs to hire a goalie coach and another assistant coach.

when you haven’t seen most of the players skate yet, said Dewan. The Stallions style of play this year will in part be determined by the opposition, he said. “Some games we could maybe press a little bit and try to be an offensive team,” Dewan said. “I’d like to boost our offence and get our guys scoring.” But again, he added, that depends whether the Stallions have the horses needed to put the puck into the net. At the end of the last season, the Stallions said goodbye to five of their 20year-old players: Brandon Timm, Brett Ashton, Kris McCarthy, Matt Hagen and Barry Roytman. Also missing this year is perennial allstar Allan McPherson. “Losing McPherson is pretty big,” said Dewan. But Dewan hopes the team will profit from using so many young players last season. “We have some good young guys to step up,” he said. “We’d like to be in playoff contention. “Our offence should be OK.” Help is on the way to beef up the team’s depleted defence, said Nistico. The Stallions have bought the rights to three defenceman, including Tim Cavanaugh, 17, from the Superior International Junior League in Thunder Bay, On.

Residents of all ages are invited to join the city’s annual Cleaning the Capital Fall Campaign that runs from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. Cleaning the Capital is a great opportunity for high school students to add to their community involvement program volunteer hours and for families and friends to work together on community cleanup projects that help make Ottawa clean, green, graffiti-free, and litter-free. It’s easy to get involved. Pick a cleanup location; for the fall, cleanup efforts are encouraged in areas where litter has accumulated such as a park, woodlot, ravine, shoreline, bus stop, pathway, schoolyard or any public property requiring tidying up. Suggested spots to target include along fence lines, in open spaces with tall grass, along trails, and around drainage ditches and catch basins. While cleaning up open areas that are maintained and mowed by the city, such as in our parks, please don’t pick up the leaves, as they will be mulched by city staff to return their nutrients to the soil. Register your cleanup project on or before Sept. 14 to be eligible to win early bird prizes. Registration continues until Oct. 15.

and Taylor Weilert, a defenceman from the National Sports Academy, Lake Placid, N.Y. “We wanted to build from our back end out,” said Nistico. The Stallions are hoping that Travis Wilkins will return this year as the team’s starting goaltender. Wilkins, who played for the Stallions last season, was recently cut from the junior camp of the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Both Dewan and Nistico have been working the phones this month to recruit more players. “We still got ’em coming in,” said Dewan. This year’s goal is simple, said Dewan. “It’s obviously to make the playoffs,” he said. “They haven’t made it in two years. We need to get some stability and just (try) to have a good system put in place.” The Stallions’ training camp opened on Friday, Aug. 20, at the KRC. Kanata will host the Kemptville 73’s in its regular season home opener at the KRC on Sept. 10.

Backpack Safety Goes Beyond Back Pain backpacks slung over one shoulder, which can pose problems with posture and lead to back issues. In addition to the physical strain backpacks can cause, they can be a danger in other ways. Many people fail to recognize how much space a backpack can take up. Entering the tight quarters of a school bus or commuting on a train or bus means a bulky backpack can knock into other people. If that backpack is full of heavy, cumbersome books or even a laptop computer, an inadvertent bump by the pack can cause injuries. Also, backpacks taken off and placed in bus aisles can be a tripping hazard.

(MS) - When it comes to backpack safety, most people tend to think about injuries caused by a heavy backpack or one worn improperly. However, there are other dangers associated with backpacks and caution should be used. Backpacks come in all shapes and sizes and can be a handy tool for students or adults. When worn correctly, with weight evenly distrubuted across the back and shoulders, backpacks can be safer and more effective than using a purse or briefcase. But many people wear overly loaded

Students also can be injured if a heavy pack falls on them. Children tucking backpacks into lockers or classroom cubbies may find that they slide out and hit another classmate. Backpacks change the way individuals walk. Because the person is carrying around extra weight, he or she may lose balance or trip and fall, especially when going down steps.

is necessary. If too many books are the issue, parents should talk to the school administrators and teachers to reach a happy medium regarding textbook usage. • When on the bus, safely store the backpack on a lap or under the seat. Be sure straps or the pack itself is not extending into the aisle.

• Avoid rolling backpacks, which can be difficult to roll. Some schools ban these styles because of tripping hazards. • Recognize how much space the backpack takes up when worn. Be conscious of others when turning around or entering a confined space. • Hold on to stair rails and do not run with a heavy backpack to help avoid slips and falls. • Choose a lightweight backpack. Canvas backpacks are generally lighter in weight than leather backpacks. Do not add extra weight unnecessarily.

5 Ways to Pack a ‘Green’ School Lunch

Hit the the ground ground running running this this school school year Hit year with the Sylvan Math Accelerator. with the Sylvan Math Accelerator.Our Our personalized approach personalized approachtototutoring tutoringwill will sharpen the child needs to to sharpen the skills skillsyour your child needs start the andand endend it even start the year yearstrong strong it even stronger. stronger.

1. Choose foods the child will eat. Nothing is more wasteful than a lunch that ends up in the trash rather than the stomach. Instead of experimenting with foods that one would hope a child will eat, select healthy items that have a past track record for success.

613-727-9636

5. Use reusable containers. Rather than packing a sandwich in a plastic baggie or a piece of plastic wrap, select a series of sandwich holders, containers and the like that can transport the lunch contents to and from school. Sure they’ll have to be washed each night, but children won’t be contributing to extra waste.

3. Select organic foods. Whether the child is bringing in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a pizza on a pita, choose foods that are organically grown or local. Supermarkets now stock the shelves with plenty of organic options that are free from pesticides and harmful growing practices. These foods are healthier and more sustainable. 4. Buy favorite foods in bulk. If the child loves cereal treats or whole-grain granola bars, buy the big box and store it in the pantry. This saves on packaging and extra trips to the store, both of which are wasteful.

Don’t wait for math to become a struggle.

This is the season for school lunches, as thousands of students will be heading back to the classroom ... and lunchroom. For those who will be bringing a lunch from home, there are ways to make it healthy for the body and the planet.

2. Skip the brown bags. Certain children may relish the idea of bringing in a character-themed lunch box. Older children may scoff at the idea. But the fact is that disposable paper lunch bags are wasteful and reusable lunch carriers are much more eco-friendly. Today there are lunch bags that are subdued in color and style and are often insulated to keep food at the right temperature.

Traditional Textbooks May Be Replaced by E-Readers

(MS) - E-readers are palm-sized electronic devices that can offer newspapers, magazines and books as digital content. While they can be convenient for the recreational reader, e-books may be a boon to students as well.

SHOE BUS

Many professors already instruct their students to go online for information, to read blogs or download digital content from Web sites capable of staying current in today’s increasingly fast news cycle. Soon they may be instructing them to purchase the latest editions of textbooks delivered right to an e-reader device.

One Stop Shopping for All Your Back To School Footwear

There are several advantages to having textbook material available for e-readers. The first, and most obvious, is the weight issue. The average college student takes 5 classes per semester. That can equal 5 or more textbooks to purchase, each weighing several pounds. A student has the potential to be carrying 50 pounds on his or her back at any given time, and that can lead to injury. In comparison, most e-readers weigh just a few ounces and can hold a thousand books or more, depending on file size. A student can carry all of the required textbooks right in a back pocket.

The e-reader market exploded when Amazon introduced its Kindle and Kindle 2. Sony, Barnes & Noble and other companies have also introduced their own e-reader devices. While the mainstay of e-reader revenue is generated from downloaded fiction and nonfiction books, e-book reader companies are realizing the benefits of offering digital versions of textbooks as well. Amazon has already contracted with three textbook companies to offer digital editions. This could mark the move from cumbersome textbooks to compact information.

Traditional Textbooks May Be Replaced Contâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d from page 19 by E-Readers

THINK GREEN

The next advantage is cost. While e-readers require an up-front cost of roughly $300, some textbooks can cost as much. Although the cost of textbook material delivered to an e-reader is still unknown, and likely based on the individual publisher, it may be more affordable than on-campus book store prices. Also, should a traditional textbook be lost, a student has to repurchase it. Many e-readers feature back-up ability, where a previously purchased book can be retrieved free from a database or storage device.

410199

Convenience is another factor for e-books. Students simply browse wirelessly for their desired reading and download it in mere minutes. This is certainly more time-efficient than waiting on long lines at the campus bookstore or waiting for books to be delivered through the mail from online sources.

of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requirements. This is similar to many schools requiring all students own a laptop. Students who are unable to afford an e-reader may be subsidized for the device or be able to use student loans to pay for them. E-readers can be advantageous in the classroom and students can also use them for their own personal purposes. BS107658 Heavy textbooks may be replaced in the future as more schools adopt the use of e-readers to disseminate classroom materials.

E-readers have the potential to be successful for school use, but they need to have the support of professors behind them. For a device like e-readers to garner broad acceptance, institutions may need to make the devices part

What’s the Difference Between ADHD and ADD?

Generally, the term ADD is used when individuals do not display hyperactivity behaviors. There are some other major differences in the types of ADHD. Recognizing symptoms can help doctors and parents achieve a more refined diagnosis. 1. ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Type: This is the form of the disease most commonly referred to as ADD. Symptoms include inability to sustain attention, making careless mistakes due to distractions, and avoiding tasks that require concentration. 2. ADHD, Predominantly HyperactiveImpulsive Type: Symptoms of this particular condition include excessive talking, fidgeting, restlessness, interrupting others, and being constantly in motion.

ADD is actually a subset of ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD is the umbrella term most medical professionals use for the condition. Just as the term “autism” is used to cover a number of behaviors and symptoms because it is easier than calling each by an individual name, such is the case with ADHD.

(MS) - The terms ADHD and ADD are often used interchangeably. Though similar, there are some subtle differences which set these conditions apart from each other.

Signature Centre, 499 Terry Fox Dr., Unit 20, Kanata

3. ADHD, Combined Type: In these cases, individuals have a combination of symptoms. Those with the type of ADHD classified as ADD may be misunderstood and originally considered shy. They also may experience co-existing emotional conditions, such as depression or anxiety. They may have trouble making friends, but experience close emotional bonds with friends they do make.

On the other hand, individuals with ADHD are often diagnosed earlier because hyperactivity is easily recognizable. They may attract a lot of attention and friends, but have difficulty maintaining relationships.

Depending on symptoms, doctors and therapists will develop a plan to enable ADHD patients to better focus and be more successful in daily activities. TF109839

Some symptoms are shared by all kinds of ADHD, including: Lack of organizational skills, easily misplacing items, difficulty in school, low self-esteem, poor social skills, and relationship problems.

While the city’s light rail plan isn’t exactly on the fast track, a green light from the Ontario ministry of environment could get things going. The go ahead, was based on the city’s environmental assessment — which included the whole, $2.1billion, 12.5-kilometre line from Tunney’s Pasture to Blair station — with the controversial tunnel. The tunnel would be 3.2 km long. The City submitted a comprehensive environmental project report to the province in June 2010. The report examines everything from noise and vibration levels to air and water quality and the preservation of vegetation, wildlife and local heritage sites along the planned route, such as the Rideau Canal. The design for the plan was approved in January. The city was betting big on the project, with a $75 million budgeted when the plan was approved, for EA, engineering and property acquisitions The EA process included many opportunities for consultation with residents, businesses, Aboriginal groups, and provincial and federal departments. Having reviewed the plan and the input provided by stakeholders, the Ministry has approved the plan. “This effectively puts an end to the whole tunnel debate,” Bay Coun. Alex Cullen said. “With the EA approved, that means a new council couldn’t cherry pick parts of the plan that they want.” Cullen said the EA, along with the $600 million from the province and the feds, proves that light rail is on track. jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Approximately 4,000 children and youth in the Ottawa area will return to school this fall without basic school supplies - help us to make sure that this does not happen. Child & Youth Friendly Ottawa’s (CAYFO) Tools4School program sets out to combat this issue by collecting new and gently used school supplies and financial donations in order to help provide the thousands of children in Ottawa who need school supplies. Being equipped with the right supplies has been proven to help children succeed in school and improve self confidence. To date we have raised just over $10,000 and provided kits enough for 1000 children, but that is not enough to fill the near 5000 requests we have received from community agencies on behalf of individuals in need. Despite the hard work over the summer months the demand for supplies far exceeds what we have been able to collect and distribute. Now that we are nearing the beginning of school, we are in a crisis situation for school supplies. Donate gently used or new supplies at one of our many drop-off locations or monetary through our website. Monetary donations will be used to buy school supply kits from our partner, Best Tools for Schools. Visit www.cayfo.ca to see the list of our drop-off locations and to donate. Help us to reach our goals and ensure that all children are given the opportunity to succeed in school right from the beginning! At CAYFO we believe that no student’s academic success should be impeded by financial status. Child and Youth Friendly Ottawa is a small Ottawa based charity that builds youth capacity and celebrates youth achievement. Our programming is based on a ‘for youth by youth’ philosophy where programs are created and grown by young people and supported by adults. The youth involved are provided with mentorship, an opportunity to advance their skills and equal partnership, which enhances their own abilities and the community at large.

Kanata Council Notes

29 Kanata Kourier-Standard - AUGUST 26, 2010

THINK GREEN

Marianne Wilkinson To read the complete columns of Councillors Wilkinson and Feltmate, go to www.yourottawaregion.com

Kanata North Last week residents of Morgan’s Grant suddenly lost their water service. Residents immediately called 311 causing an overload to the system so that their calls were not answered. I have asked that the service be reviewed so that this does not happen again when there are many calls, due to an unforeseen incident. It is disturbing that residents could not easily find out what had happened and when their service would be restored. A contractor working on the March Road project was responsible for the water loss due to a valve left open during work being done. The city has undertaken to ensure that lock-out procedures for all water valves are strictly followed on all remaining work. I regret that residents were unnecessarily inconvenienced. Brookshire and Sandhill Parks - The developer has completed the outstanding items needed for the city’s landscaper contractor to begin their work, which will start this week.

Kanata South This year the City of Ottawa is spending $370.8 million on infrastructure required because of growth. Only $124.7 million is coming from development charges. There is a myth that development charges cover the cost of growth. In fact, for growthrelated projects in 2010, development charges covered only 39.2% of the cost. With the Greenbelt nearby and some remaining undeveloped areas, it is not a surprise that there are deer wandering through Bridlewood. However, this does mean we have to keep an eye out for them when driving. 613-580-2752

Kanata Kourier-Standard - AUGUST 26, 2010

Grandmothers group gears up for three-day bike tour JESSICA CUNHA KOURIER-STANDARD The Grassroot Grannies are gearing up for a three day bike ride covering 270 kilometres for The Ride To Turn The Tide event. In an effort to raise funds for the Grandmothers to Grandmothers, which was launched by the Stephen Lewis Foundation, the Grassroot Grannies will bike from Kanata to Perth on Sept. 8, from Perth to Metcalfe on Sept. 9 and from Metcalfe back to Kanata on Sept. 10. “This is the first year,” said Nancy Hough, a member of the Grassroot Grannies who is also an avid cyclist. She thought of the fundraiser after meeting grandmothers from Victoria, B.C. in Cuba who held a threeday bike ride to raise money for the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign. “Virtually everyone participating is a relatively seasoned cyclist,” said Hough of the 19 riders who will be taking part in the event. The Stephen Lewis Foundation launched the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign to raise awareness and mobilize support in Canada for African grandmothers. Due to the AIDS epidemic, many sub-Sahara African children are orphaned. It is estimated that between 40 to 60 per cent of the 13 million AIDS orphans live with their grandmothers. The campaign provides funding for families often struggling to survive on meager incomes, said Hough, who is a grandmother of five. “(The bike ride,) it’s a challenge for some people but it’s over in three days – their challenge goes on forever,” she said of the grandmothers in Africa. “At the JESSICA CUNHA PHOTO family level we help the grandmother to help the child From left to right, Grassroot Grannies Lina Woods, Nancy Hough and Christine Waton will be taking part in The Ride To Turn The Tide, a three to help the country.” day bike ride from Sept. 8 to 10 in an effort to raise funds for the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign. The Katimavik resident has been a member of the grassroots group since it started in 2006. In only four 390022 years, the Grannies have raised $52,000 for their African counterparts. Tri "TL " al S CPV “The money goes directly to those who need it, there tay U 0 are no government filters,” said Hough. “The money for VS goes to provide education, start projects, school fees. aW To help them create a better life.” eek Lina Woods, a member since 2006 and the Grassroots Grannies new chairwoman, said she does it because it’s a way to give back. “I just feel I’ve been blessed by life; not too many hardships. When I heard what these grandmothers go starting from through, they do what is necessary.” per month Woods, who lives in Kanata Lakes, said that since the creation of the campaign, women in Africa are starting to have more of a say. “They’re starting to have a voice,” she said. “They said our support had been just morally and physically fantastic. There are humongous leaps still to do but they’re starting to feel empowered, starting to make changes.” When we picture a grandmother, we picture someone older, said Hough. The grandmothers in Africa come in all ages. “I have two very healthy granddaughters,” said Christine Waton, a Kanata Lakes resident. “You realize the contrast between African children. Financially it can be a big burden. We’re empowering grandmothers to have 480 BRIGITTA Street more of a voice.” (fernbank south on romina between eagleson & terry fox) Fifteen women and four men will be taking part in A luxurious retirement community The Ride To Turn The Tide, which will run from Sept. 613-595-1116 offering a full continuum of care. 8 to 10.

Is your well water safe?

Kanata Kourier-Standard - AUGUST 26, 2010

BARB MCGILL OTTAWA PUBLIC HEATLH Did you know that water contaminated with harmful bacteria or chemicals can make you sick? Bacterial analysis of water samples from wells serving single family residential dwelling can be done free of charge by the Ontario Public Health Laboratory located at 2380 St. Laurent Blvd. Water sample bottles can be picked up at the Ontario Public Health Laboratory, or at City of Ottawa Client Service Centres during business hours. Typically, you should test your well water at least three times per year. However, if it has not been tested in a while, you should submit a total of three water samples taken at least one week apart. Spring, summer and fall are good times to test well water because snowmelt, rain and drought are critical times when vulnerable wells can become contaminated. Water samples must be taken in accordance with the instructions provided with the sample bottles and returned to the Ontario Public Health Laboratory or returned to Ottawa Public Health, 100 Constellation Cres. Additional sites where water sample bottles can be picked up and dropped off can be obtained by visiting ottawa. ca/health. 410253

Pensioners launch site SILVER FOX ALLIANCE The Silver Fox Alliance, an organization of seniors, pensioners and supporters committed to achieve Canadian justice-in-bankruptcy, today launched its website, Facebook page and an online petition. Dedicated to all Canadian private sector workers and retirees whose pensions are vulnerable to corporate bankruptcies, the SFA’s immediate focus is on the 20,000 Nortel former employees and pensioners who will lose as much as 36 per cent of their pensions and all of their health and life insurance benefits this year. Mike Milinkovich, Nortel pensioner and

mayor of Black River-Matheson, said. “We are delighted to see the emergence of SFA, as it will add more voices to bring this shameful process to the attention of all Canadians. These issues affect all of us, especially in the Northern Ontario resource sector, not just Nortel employees.” Visit the new website at www.silverfoxalliance.com or the facebook page at http:// www.facebook.com/groups/edit.php?custo mizef&gid=108180069230266.

Bboy not enough for ballroom Katimavik man falls out of dance competition JESSICA CUNHA KOURIER-STANDARD Christian “CEE” Ancheta, the Katimavik man who flew through the Toronto auditions of So You Think You Can Dance Canada (SYTYCDC) didn’t make the cut during the finals. During day three of the finals auditions the judges cut Ancheta after his ballroom routine with Janick Arseneau, who advanced, on the episode that aired Thursday, Aug. 19. “When finishing the jive, I was super excited with my performance,” said the 23year-old who is primarily a breakdancer. Even the judges agreed he gave a great performance, but not enough to launch him into the top 20 for the competition. “For the amount of training I had for ballroom I felt I did an amazing performance,” said Ancheta. “The judges overall said that I did a good performance but it wasn’t strong enough for the show.” The camera’s showed him as being tonguetied after he emerged from the auditorium, but he said that’s just the magic of television. “I couldn’t believe how they made me look, it was so funny,” said Ancheta. “My boys Tall Up, Boneless (who were both

eliminated in the finals) and I died. “When I was eliminated I was smiles everywhere. They used the moments when I was thinking and made me look like I was upset. I got a ton of texts last night and they were like, ‘CEE, you were speechless?’ And heck no I wasn’t speechless; I was giving them positive, positive, positive when I got out. Oh well, that’s TV right?” Ancheta danced hip hop and theatre and spent a day at Canada’s Wonderland before being cut during round three. “My overall thought on SYTYCDC was that it was an experience that I will never forget,” said Ancheta. “I learned so much about myself, my dance, what I am capable of and met some of the most amazing dancers and people in Canada. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything else, it definitely changed my life.” He said plans to go back to school and start teaching bboying – a form of breakdancing – around Ottawa. He doesn’t know if he will return next year to try out for season four of the dance show but it is a possibility. “It really is up in the air so I guess we’ll have to wait and find out,” said Ancheta. jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Sea cadet sets sail for nationals

43 Kanata Kourier-Standard - AUGUST 26, 2010

CAPT. JOHN HARRIS ROYAL CANADIAN SEA CADET CORPS Kanata sea cadet Ahmad Sakr is one of Canada’s top 50 Royal Canadian Sea Cadet sailors competing in a national regatta in Kingston, Ont. from Aug. 23 to 27. The annual sea cadets’ national regatta, staged by The Navy League of Canada and the Canadian Forces, pits each province’s top sailors against each other in four days of competition, testing not only their teamwork, seamanship and sailing strategy but also their tenacity and physical endurance. Teams from each province earned the right to compete in this national event by dominating their division (provincial) competition. Each crew of two cadets (skipper and mate) will sail in up to 12 races in the waters off Fort Henry and the Royal Military College of Canada, where Lake Ontario flows into the upper St. Lawrence River. Crews competed in pirate class sailboats with a spinnaker and trapeze, requiring a high level of sailing experience and expertise. For a sailing town like Kingston, usually up to its gunwales in sailboat races, one more regatta might not make much of a ripple in Navy Bay. It is, however, a big deal for the sea cadets traveling the length and breadth of Canada to get here: from St. John’s to Victoria. They’ve anticipated the challenge for months, perhaps years.

Did you know that working smoke alarms can cut your chances of dying in a fire by 50 per cent? In Ontario, having working smoke alarms is not only a good idea -- it’s the law. Ottawa Fire Services recommends you install a smoke alarm on every level of your home, and outside your sleeping areas. Test your smoke alarms every month and change the batteries twice a year when you change your clocks. A working smoke alarm and a home fire escape plan will significantly increase your chances of surviving a fire.
