High-tech rebound good news for city Cisco ahead of schedule to hire 300 new staff in Ontario Nevil Hunt

EMC news - The city and province hope one high-tech company’s growth is a sign of things to come. In August 2011, Cisco and the province entered into an
agreement that aimed to create 300 new jobs in Ontario over five years. Cisco checked in with the government on Sept. 25 to report 134 jobs have already been added: 96 in Ottawa and 38 in Toronto. “Cisco could be doing what they’re doing anywhere in the
world,” said Ontario Economic Development Minister Brad Duguid during a press conference hosted at Cisco’s offices on Innovation Drive. Duguid and Ottawa WestNepean MPP Bob Chiarelli were part of the Kanata-based event, appearing via a Ciscodesigned videolink from Toronto. Duguid said Ontario’s low corporate tax rate and Ottawa’s skilled workforce helped Cisco choose the city
for expansion. The five-year agreement to create 300 jobs also came with a $25 million investment from the province. Cisco Canada’s vice-president Ron McDougall said Ontario presented “a compelling case” for the company’s growth. The Kanata location now has about 400 employees and another company manager said the original agreement to add 300 positions in Ontario could be eclipsed if
conditions remain positive. “This is excellent news for Ottawa’s families and Ottawa’s businesses,” said Chiarelli, who added that high-tech jobs are returning to the city. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson attended in person. Watson also said there’s an “upward swing” in tech jobs.

Invest Ottawa well funded: mayor Continued from page 1
NEVIL HUNT/METROLAND
R0011653427_1004
Mayor Jim Watson looks over a tangle of technology in Cisco’s Kanata labs. On Sept. 25, the high-tech company reported it’s ahead of schedule in hiring new employees under an agreement with the province.
Following a tour of two large technology labs, Watson said the city’s Invest Ottawa program has been well funded by council and can help companies that want to locate here or expand operations. He said assistance includes fast-tracking building permits and zoning applications, but the city can’t pump cash into businesses like the province does. “Under the Municipal Act … we don’t have the ability to directly finance companies,” Watson said. “We’re more of a facilitator so they can access different government programs so jobs stay in Ottawa and grow in Ottawa. And I’m the lobbyist-in-chief.” Watson said Invest Ottawa has been operating for less than a year but will ask for an update at the finance committee later this year. The city’s

We’re more of a facilitator so they can access different government programs. JIM WATSON MAYOR

She said that when National Defence staff move into the former Nortel campus at Carling Avenue and Moodie Drive, the high-tech firms there will be displaced. Wilkinson said at least two of those companies have already decided to move to Kanata.

Golf classic raises funds for youth suicide prevention too late.”
Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
IN MEMORY
Jessica Cunha/Metroland
Glenn Kulka, a former professional sports player, speaks to the crowd at the inaugural Reach Up For Youth Suicide Prevention Golf Classic on Sept. 24. about the difficult subject matter with his eight- and 10-yearold children. “I’d rather do it a year earlier than a year too late.” ‘NEVER TOO LATE’
Seven years sober, Kulka began using drugs and alcohol in his teens. When his sports career ended, he said he had no life skills to speak of, since he’d been playing professionally since the age of 16. “All of a sudden the real world smacks you upside the head,” he said. “I had to get a job. ‘What’s a job?’” He started using heavily to deal with his new life situation.
“I did everything; there was nothing I didn’t do,” said Kulka, listing alcohol, marijuana and cocaine as some of his vices. “I was out of control.” One day, Kulka took Rocco out for a walk along Petrie Island and brought along his shotgun. “All of a sudden…I’ve got a gun stuck in my mouth,” he said. He started thinking that if he took his own life, there would be no one to take care of Rocco, so he would have to shoot his dog first. “That’s what saved my life…the fact I couldn’t look into my dog’s eyes and kill him.” The moral? “You can pull yourself out of it,” said Kulka. “It’s never
The inaugural golf tournament was the brainchild of Reach Up co-chairs Jon Lovagi and Mike Dixon. “It’s not easy to stand up here and pour your heart out,” said Lovagi after Kulka’s speech. “But if we’re not standing up here, we’re not saving lives.” The tournament was held in memory of Lovagi’s son, Dustyn, who took his own life in 2005. Having just made the dean’s list at Algonquin College and only days away from working at pro golfer Mike Weir’s golf resort, Dustyn stepped off a highway into the path of an oncoming truck. The tournament raised funds for the Kanata Haven Youth Centre and the Do It For Daron Foundation, two organizations that help youth in need. “The money you’ve put into this event will save a life,” Lovagi said. “We’re saving lives.” Diane McNulty, program director at the Haven youth centre, said the money from the tournament will go towards the organization’s suicide prevention program, which includes safeTALK training for youth. “The youth centre and Diane helped me with my situation,” 24-year-old Larissa Taylor told the crowd.
the heart institute when Taylor was in the hospital. “They became my second family,” she said. “The youth centre kept me grounded but more importantly, it kept me safe.” Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said it’s important to have programs and people in place to help those at risk or people in crisis. “You need to have that support,” she said. “Jon is stepping forward right now,” said Kulka. “We need others to step up and help for years to come.”

EMC news - Connecting with today’s youth on a personal level can be difficult, said Glenn Kulka at the inaugural Reach Up For Youth Suicide Prevention Golf Classic on Monday, Sept. 24. “The youth today are numb,” he told the crowd. Inundated with information, with voiceless communication becoming the norm through text messages, emails and social networking, youth have a hard time connecting on a personal level. “There’s no emotion in a text,” said Kulka, who lives in Glen Cairn. “We need to be having conversations.” Kulka ended up on a park bench, a gun in his mouth and his black Labrador Rocco beside him before he stepped back from the edge and began to open up to those around him and seek help. “I was about 36 years old before I ever had a conversation with my dad,” he said. Now, the former Canadian Football League player, professional wrestler and mixedmartial artist talks to youth about his struggles with drug and alcohol addictions, and depression and suicide, and he said parents need to do the same. “They need a parent who’s going to ask the tough questions,” said Kulka, who talks
The young woman had a heart transplant at the age of 18, due to congestive heart failure. At the time, Taylor said it was easier to talk to McNulty and her friends at the youth centre, than her family. An advocate of youth centres and organ donation, Taylor told the crowd how the group came together to help her in her time of need. “Kids at risk are not bad kids,” she said. “They want to contribute.” The youth centre held a benefit concert to raise funds for

Energy Minister Bentley Visits Hydro Plant at Chaudière Falls

Police and peace officers from across Canada march on Parliament Hill to honour their fallen comrades on Sept. 30.
Minister of Energy Chris Bentley tours Generating Station No. 2 with Bryce Conrad, President and CEO, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc.; and Pierre Richard, Chairman, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. and Hydro Ottawa Limited.
On September 28, Ontario’s Minister of Energy Chris Bentley visited Chaudière Generating Station No. 2, one of Hydro Ottawa’s historic hydroelectric generating stations at Chaudière Falls. The station, commissioned in 1891 and refurbished and fully automated in 2001, is a heritage-designated building that is Canada’s oldest fully-functional run-of-theriver hydroelectric facility. Minister Bentley was accompanied by Pierre Richard, Chairman, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. and Hydro Ottawa Limited; and Bryce Conrad, President and CEO, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. Hydro Ottawa also owns Chaudière Generating Station No. 4, built in 1900 and refurbished in 2005, as well as a smaller station named the Grinder Powerhouse which uses an innovative technology that is similar to a pump operating in reverse – the first time this technology has been used at a scale of 700 kilowatts or more.
Hundreds brave rain to honour fallen police and peace officers Joe Lofaro
EMC news - Droplets of water dabbed the caps of several hundred uniformed police officers who stood in the rain on Parliament Hill Sunday, Sept. 30, to pay tribute to their fallen comrades at the 35th annual Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day. The inclement weather wasn’t enough to keep hundreds of bystanders and family members of police officers from gathering around the perimeter of the Parliament Hill lawn to observe the throngs of officers from Thunder Bay, Toronto, and several other Canadian police forces during the ceremony. Margaret Mills came from Chatham, Ont. with her son and daughter-in-law, both of whom are police officers in
Toronto. “I’m very proud of them. We’re all here to support them even standing in the rain,” she said wearing a soaked rain jacket. “They’re there for us in all kinds of weather so I can stand for a few minutes to honour them.” Canada’s Public Safety Minister Vic Toews referred to police officers as “heroes” as he opened the ceremony with his speech about sacrifice and remembrance. There are more than 800 names on the Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Honour Roll. “All Canadians mourn the death of police and peace officers, but none feel the loss more personally, more profoundly, and more painfully than their families and their colleagues,” said Toews. “Our thoughts and prayers are with
you, especially today.” The minister also laid a wreath on the front steps. The 2011 passing of Const. Vincent Roy of the Bromont, Que. police force was observed at this year’s ceremony. Canadian Police Association president Tom Stamatakis said three historical names were also added to this list. Speaking at the end of the ceremony, Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau called the show of community support at the memorial “outstanding.” “It’s very heart-warming when you’re marching and people are applauding,” he said. Bordeleau said 14 members of the Ottawa police lost their lives in the line of duty in the force’s history – the most recent one being Ottawa police Const. Eric Czapnik, who was

Hydro Ottawa’s Chaudière Falls stations have a generating capacity of 17 megawatts and an annual production of about 125,000 megawatt hours of green energy. With the addition of its landfill gas-to-energy generation, Hydro Ottawa is the largest generator of green power in eastern Ontario. This green energy portfolio will expand with the closing of the acquisition of three more hydroelectric stations at Chaudière Falls from Domtar with a capacity of 20 megawatts. The acquisition will more than double Hydro Ottawa’s hydroelectric generating capacity, enabling the company to generate enough clean, renewable energy to meet the annual needs of 28,000 households. Another benefit of the acquisition is that the Chaudière Falls site is one of the largest remaining sites available in Ontario, with an expansion opportunity that could see Hydro Ottawa’s hydroelectric capacity grow to 60 megawatts.

Legion to create virtual wall for Remembrance Day Blair Edwards

Maxwell, senior program officer with the Royal Canadian Legion. “It’s the first time it’s being tried and we’re hoping for a success.” The video montage will begin shortly before the start of the ceremony. “The time before the music and pre-ceremony there was no activity,” said Maxwell. “People were there fairly early, so a suggestion came out maybe we could try this. “It could be a very moving experience for a lot of people.” The Legion is asking people across the country to mail photographs and accompanying information (no original copies as they cannot be returned) to
Dominion Command, 86 Aird Pl., Ottawa, ON, K2L 0A1. Photographs and service records can also be sent by email to: RememberingThem@ legion.ca or ALeurMemoire@ legion.ca. Any deceased veteran, whether they died before or after their years of service, is eligible to be included in the virtual wall, including those who served with the merchant navy and ferry command. The Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance will be shown annually at future Remembrance Day ceremonies, said Maxwell. For more information visit the website www. legion.ca.

Eight-year-old raising funds to stop trafficking Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Anna’s father Ivan, who teaches at Ashbury College and her sister Libby, 5, were also on hand to help out during the sale, showing people into the house and helping them pick out treats. Anna organized the event in less than two weeks, making posters and telling friends and strangers about the bake sale. Anna said she was excited so many people had came by to sample the baked goods. By the end of the fundraiser, more than 30 people stopped by the Sambles’ home and Anna was able to raise just under $300. “She really enjoyed serving everybody and many people sat down and read the literature about trafficking so it has raised awareness as well as money,� said Sarah. Anna said she would likely do another fundraiser to continue supporting Stop the Traffik.

EMC news - Eight-year-old Anna Sambles is working to make a difference to help children around the world who are sold into slavery. She first heard of the practice after being introduced to the tale of Chaga and the Chocolate Factory, which is based on a true story about a poor boy who is tricked and sold into slavery for the promise of money for his family. “They are taken away from their family‌and nobody ever sees them again,â€? said Anna. “I was really sad when I heard the story‌That made me think I should do something for the slaves.â€? Anna held a bake sale at her home on Sunday, Sept. 30, a fundraiser for Stop the Traffik, an international charity aimed at stopping human trafficking and slavery. “I hope that we sell quite a few cakes and raise $100,â€? said the Grade 3 Roland Michener Public School student. Anna’s mother Sarah said it was “incredibleâ€? her daughter was able to put the whole thing together in only 10 days – after just moving to Canada from the United Kingdom. “She’s only lived here a month and she has no problem going up to people and telling them (about the fundraiser).â€?
crops, said Sarah, adding that while the names in the story may be fictional the events in it are not. There are more than 20-million people in the slave industry worldwide. “It’s just unbelievable that this still happens,â€? said Sarah a part-time French teacher who volunteers with Stop the Traffik. “(Anna) got impacted by that story,â€? she added. “She was so saddened to hear that children in West Africa are often trafficked‌she decided to do something about it.â€? Anna started baking chocolate goodies on Friday, making nut-free brownies, cupcakes and muffins, and gluten-free meringue to raise funds for Stop the Traffik. “I’m overwhelmed with how dedicated she’s been,â€? said Sarah, adding Anna did all the baking for the fundraiser. “I’m just amazed at her heart and compassion.â€?

Watson’s casino wager the right call
D
espite the ethical hand-wringing that will inevitably accompany the mayor’s announcement last week that Ottawa will entertain any proposals from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to build a casino in the city, it is the right way to move forward on this issue. Casinos have been a reality in Ontario since 1994, in the capital region since 1996 and there have been slot machines
at the Rideau Carleton Raceway since 2000, meaning residents of this city have had plenty of opportunity to gamble for more than a decade. Getting squeamish about gambling at this point is a little naive – gaming arrived in Ontario nearly 20 years ago. What is at issue is not if Ottawa will allow a casino, but where. Currently, gamblers travel to Gatineau or to the racetrack to place their bets. In the near future, OLG
will close the slots at Rideau Carleton, meaning any money made from gambling will leave the city, as will the jobs associated with the operation of the slots. It would be irresponsible for either Mayor Jim Watson or council to let this happen. As Watson said last week, “Every Ottawa dollar spent at the Gatineau casino is a dollar lost for Ottawa taxpayers – it is time that we repatriate that money.� What is at stake is whether Ottawa will allow
jobs, gambling revenue and associated tourist dollars to stay in our city or leave for good. The mayor indicated any revenue generated for the city by a casino will be spent on infrastructure renewal, job creation and economic development, all areas that will be moving to the forefront of the city’s agenda in the coming years. But gambling revenues won’t be the only way building a casino could benefit the
city. As the federal government sheds jobs, new sources of employment will be vital to Ottawa. If one of those sources of new jobs is a casino, so be it. It wouldn’t just be a casino, however, as other hospitality businesses would benefit from its presence, as would the more established Ottawa tourism industry. In order to ensure a casino is successful, the city will need to be brave enough to approve a location that ensures its success. This would likely involve a central location close to existing hotels and transit. To place it on the outskirts of the city would only deter tourists and serve
to limit the casino’s capacity to benefit the city, making the whole exercise a waste of public time and resources. Does all this mean the city and the province would not have a responsibility to educate residents about problem gambling or support those who have an addiction? Of course not - and it would only be appropriate that some portion of gambling revenue be directed towards expanding and improving those efforts. Gambling is nothing new to the Ottawa region and by firmly putting his support behind any future OLG casino proposal Watson has placed a good bet on the city’s future.

Life after the record store’s demise CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
T
hese days, when you lament for the past you are not looking all that far back. Change happens so quickly that the latest thing becomes the previous thing in no time flat. DVD players came about 15 years ago. Five years after that they became dominant and people stopped renting videotapes. Now it’s next to impossible to rent a DVD. That’s fast. And don’t bet the mortgage on the next thing lasting all that long either. Think of how long radio was dominant before television took over. Think of how long phonograph records lasted before CDs came along. Decades and decades. Now within a single decade we see new systems emerge, disappear and be replaced by others which then disappear too. If you feel too lazy to try to keep up, join the club. Last week Sam Sniderman died at 92. He was the founder of the record store Sam the Record Man. Located on Yonge Street in Toronto it was the place to go for fans of all kinds of music, especially the less popular kinds. Eventually there were more than 100 Sam’s across Canada, including several here. There was a pretty good one at Carlingwood and a really good one at Bayshore, with the jazz and classical music in a special glassed-in section of the store. Anywhere in Canada, if you wanted a wide selection of classical music or jazz or folk music, Sam’s was where you went. Where do you go now? You go online. And who is there? No one, except you. Some of the comment on the death of Sam has stressed that point - that there was always someone knowl-
edgeable around the store to consult if you wanted to know about the latest Miles Davis reissue. But, actually, there is no shortage of opinion available today, expert and otherwise. If you want to buy the latest Miles reissue you can scan the web and find out what everyone thinks about it. You can probably sample a track. Even though there is no one to talk to in a store, you can find what you need to know. So it’s not the absence of expertise that makes the passing of the record (later CD) store lamentable. Nor is it that there is less music available. There is more. Those of us who grew up desperately searching for jazz in small-town record stores and on the radio find ourselves facing riches beyond belief on the Internet. So why do we miss the record store? Why, for that matter, will we miss the book store. There is no shortage of ways to get books online and no shortage of books either. Maybe it’s because we feel we are at the mercy of technology. A record (or a CD) is a tangible thing. It is always there. Music on the Internet depends on your Internet connection; music on your computer depends on your hard drive not packing it in. It feels tenuous and temporary. Not to everyone, of course. It is not unusual to find people whose entire music collection is stored on a device smaller than, say, a DVD box. Their total embrace of the new technology is what has sparked the tremendous growth in online music and the death of the record store. To be fair, the record, or CD store, still exists. They are fewer and often drastically scaled-down. But a few stores, like Compact Music and CD Warehouse in Ottawa, are still fighting the good fight. In response to Sam Sniderman’s death, there has been comment on the feeling of community in the store and the loss of that community since it closed. There is, of course, a new community – it is online and it will take some getting used to. When Marshall McLuhan talked about the “global village,� he didn’t know the villagers would be solitary people at their computer screens.

Eliminating the public service ‘lifer’ mentality BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse some truth to this perception. It’s not surprising, really. The federal government employs a quarter of a million people, the largest employer in the country. The hiring process alone is a cumbersome and lengthy affair, often taking more than six months to fill even an entry-level position. There are written tests followed by a series of interviews by committee, where mechanical human resources officers tick off horribly detailed boxes designed to fit existing job descriptions. But if the hiring process is archaic, the firing process is positively draconian. In
the private sector, you get a pink slip, maybe a package and someone walks you out the door, ideally with some kind of career transition counselling. In government, you get a notice that maybe, possibly, perhaps you’re going to lose your job at some point between now and six months from now. You have the option to take a package or a retraining amount and leave. But if you want to stay employed you, and, say, 15 others who’ve received the same notice, are going to have to compete for a handful of positions. Imagine what this does
to morale which is already in the toilet. The department affected goes into a tailspin. People’s reactions range from “the devil may care,” to panic-stricken. Whatever the response, it’s hard to go to work without looking at your colleagues sideways. Most of those whose positions may be affected have a tendency to reduce their efforts to the bare minimum. Part of the problem, and what causes much of the panic, is that people don’t have a Plan B, says Moira Hutchison, a life strategy mentor and coach. “When people work in the government, they feel like they’re set for life,” says Hutchison, owner of Wellness with Moira. “They have the pension and the health benefits. They may not even like their jobs, but they become so panic-stricken because the idea they had of safety and security has been stripped away
from them. They are stuck.” For the last 10 years, Hutchison has been connecting clients with a number of self-help methods – ranging from hypnosis to self-affirmation and coaching -- designed to help them get “unstuck”. “People forget what motivated them to get into these jobs in the first place,” explains Hutchison. “When the cuts come, they get frozen into this worst-case scenario kind of thinking. But before they hit a crisis, they need to be tapping into resources to make sure they have the tools for self-care, and are equipped to handle these things when they see it coming rather than waiting until the crisis hits.” Hutchison adds that, with so many layoffs occurring at once, people would be well-served to tap into their
entrepreneurial skills, thinking about ways to turn their passions into money-making ventures. “People aren’t going to be able to just go and work at Tim Horton’s,” says Hutchison. “They require jobs of equal calibre to what they’re doing now. But these jobs don’t exist, so they are going to have to create one for themselves.” She says everyone in government – regardless of whether their jobs are imminently affected or not – would be well-served to escape from the mindset that they are “lifers” in the government. A little innovation and entrepreneurship within their jobs could make them a lot happier and more productive, and it may just help them minimize that nasty public perception.

t’s not an easy time to be a public servant. In Ontario, slightly more than half of teachers are locked in battle with the government. At the federal level, departments continue to implement broad and deep cuts to meet the Conservative party’s 2012 budget targets. On top of the internal strife, government workers must also deflect the near daily onslaught of criticism from the public and the media, which tend to portray them as greedy, lazy, and spoiled. There’s a widely-held perception, after all, that the public service is where talent and innovation go to die. Once people sign on, they’re there for life. No need to work hard. Push some paper. Organize a conference call now and again. Then you can just kick back and enjoy the ride – or, in this case, a lucrative benefit package. The sad thing is, as with most stereotypes, there’s

Councillors want digital signs in rural, suburban areas Only still images, careful placement planned by city Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
Laura Mueller/Metroland
This digital billboard on St. Laurent Boulevard near Tremblay Road was part of a city study. The city will allow them in urban areas.
EMC news - The desire among city councillors to move ahead with permitting digital billboards in the city pitted rural and suburban councillors against urban representatives at a Sept. 25 meeting. In the end, despite 700 comments from the public, mostly in opposition to the idea, the urban area will be open to digital billboards
– with a list of restrictions. Those rules will make Ottawa’s digital billboards the dimmest and most restricted advertising screens in the country, said Peter Giles, a project and program manager with the city’s planning and infrastructure department. Still images (not videos) on the LED lit signs will have to remain for a minimum of 10 seconds before changing, and the signs will have to be the least bright in Canada. The locations will also be very restricted: digital signs won’t be allowed in rural or predominantly residential areas, near heritage properties or on hydro corridors and there are generous setback distances to keep them away from highway on- and
off-ramps, parkways and villages. Giles estimates that 22 of the 393 documented conventional billboards in the city could be converted to digital signs under the new rules. That didn’t please some councillors on the planning committee, including Barrhaven councillor and planning committee vice chairwoman Jan Harder. “You said we are going to be the most restrictive in the country. The question is, why? Why do we need to be?” Harder asked city staff during the Sept. 25 meeting. “I just think this is way overly cautious.” If digital billboards are more attractive and offer more timely information than standard billboards, Harder said, why not allow them? The planning committee voted in favour of Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley’s direction to ask staff to come back in a year to look at expanding the digital billboard program to other areas, including rural and suburban sections of Ottawa. Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs was the only member of the committee to vote against the digital billboard proposal. One of four pilot project billboards is located in her ward, at Carling and Kirkwood avenues, and her office receives numerous complaints that it is distracting. “I don’t interpret that as having access to more and better information,” Hobbs said, adding that she was disappointed with staff’s rec-
ommendation. “What is the benefit to our constituents? I think we have the time and the benefit of being cautious,” Hobbs said. “We should be considering enhancements to our public spaces instead of just a revenue stream.” Allowing digital signs will allow for the city to charge $2,500 for a digital billboard permit – that’s $700 more than a conventional billboard. For sites that don’t qualify under the guidelines, an advertiser can apply for a minor variance to get an exemption for a digital billboard. That would also cost $2,500 on top of the permit. Orléans Coun. Bob Monette was concerned that the city won’t be making enough money from digital billboards. “My only concern is that we’re not getting enough bang for our buck,” Monette said. “We’re almost breaking even, we should be doing better than breaking even.” Until now, the only types of digital signs allowed were digital scrolling text as part of “message centre” signs and video signs for drivethrough restaurants. Digital signs are considered more efficient because they can display a greater number of messages, so they are more cost-effective; there is a greater supply of advertising, making it more affordable to small businesses; and they are easier and less expensive to maintain, according to a city report.

Newcomers share success stories Future entrepreneurs gather to learn what it takes to start a business in Ottawa Nevil Hunt
nevil.hunt@metroland.com
EMC news - From computers to cupcakes, new Canadians have become Ottawa’s entrepreneurs. Newcomers to Canada who hope to become business owners received a large dose of inspiration at a networking event hosted by Ottawa Centre MP Paul Dewar and the Ottawa Public Library on Sept. 25. More than 150 people travelled to Ben Franklin Place in Nepean to learn about starting a business. The event was aimed at new Canadians because Dewar’s office noticed so many newcomers tend to search for the same information. “We were getting the same requests over and over,” Dewar said. “Usually we send
them to the resources and then we thought, ‘Let’s pull these people together and show them what’s available.’” The city’s hub for business questions and answers is Invest Ottawa, but the evening’s would-be entrepreneurs also had a chance to chat with representatives of micro-loan programs, local and federal organizations and the library. Visitors heard a few success stories from people who, like them, once dreamed of starting their own business. FIVE START-UPS
A panel of five entrepreneurs – all newcomers to Canada at some point – gave advice and answered questions from an audience that seemed to hang on every word. Common themes were pas-

partner who could approach corporate customers, and sales to companies eventually eclipsed retail sales to individual consumers. Columbian émigré Jaime Baquero said he has been successful because he works on something he is passionate about: coral reefs. In order to succeed in Canada, Baquero said he needed to learn English and French, so took work in retail. Once he could better communicate with his fellow Canadians, he volunteered with a group that protects reefs and has since made a living by starting a company that maintains aquariums. “Canada is a country of opportunities,” Baquero said. “The key is passion and the support of your family.” Baquero also preached conservative economics to any future entrepreneur. “Don’t spend more than you can afford,” he said.

home and decided to switch to full-time. She attended Algonquin College to learn the culinary skills she’d need. Arizmendi said she started gathering information and had her business plan reviewed by what is now Invest Ottawa and made the changes the experts suggested. With the help of a loan, the Cupcake Lounge opened in 2011 in the Byward Market. “We broke all projections,” Arizmendi said, adding the shop has 15 employees and served 50,000 customers last year. Her advice: “Go back to school if you need to. Have your plan reviewed and make changes.” Xuening Chen arrived here from China and worked in high-tech before starting a retail computer business in 1990. He sold that company in 2006. Between those years he learned that his then-limited English communications skills made it critical to find a local

elle McDonald said new Canadians have a tendency to start their business inquiries at their local library branch, and as a result, Ottawa’s librarians have learned what helps their customers. Ottawa’ libraries have also developed programs that can help newcomers, such as workshops on English conversation and career development. Dewar said the networking event successfully matched people with the information they need if they decide to go into business for themselves. “It’s not just about different levels of government putting out programs, but making sure they make sense,” he said. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson encouraged visitors to get in touch with Invest Ottawa; what he called one-stop shopping for business people. The office at 80 Aberdeen St. can provide advice and arrange contacts within the provincial and federal governments. Invest Ottawa can be contacted at investottawa.ca or 613-828-6274.

MPs votes against motion to study definition of a human being 9/28/12
Derek Dunn 5:40:58 PM
derek.dunn@metroland.com
EMC news - Speculation on Parliament Hill is running rampant over a possible rift in the Conservative caucus, but the party whip insists the rumours are unfounded. Gordon O’Connor said the Sept. 26 abortion vote, when 87 of 163 Conservative MPs
voted to study the definition of a human being, had nothing to do with showing party discipline. “It’s a free vote; you don’t whip a free vote,” said the MP for Carleton-Mississippi Mills. “If it was a level two or three vote, that’s different. But this was a free vote.” O’Connor, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and a solid majority of the caucus voted against raising the issue. O’Connor said they were elected on a promise to not bring up the issue, and that he is pleased the idea was quashed. “I’m satisfied that it was
defeated,” he said. “It’s no secret I voted against it. It’s a libertarian thing. I don’t think government should be telling women what they should do with their bodies.” He added that he doesn’t advocate women undergo an abortion or not. It’s not something he feels is within a MP’s scope of concern. However, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has long been touted as a possible successor to Harper, who has led the party to three consecutive wins. Kenney voted in favour of Motion 312 that would see a committee formed to examine the issue. And backbencher MP Brad
R0011634887
Trost recently told Maclean’s magazine that pro-life troops within the party are prepared to stand by their convictions. “Some socially conservative rank and file members of the Conservative Party have not been happy with (Harper) for quite some time,” Trost said. O’Connor dismissed the notions of a split as mere speculation. “People always read the tea leaves,” he said. “It’s a matter of conscience, and when it is a matter of conscience personal opinions appear. There are no divisions. There are no splits. It was a matter of conscience.”

National Tree Day gets youth outdoors Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
EMC news - Elementary school children spent the day at Andrew Haydon Park on Sept. 25 to celebrate the second annual National Tree Day. Tree Canada put on a day of events and tree planting for students from D. Aubrey Moodie Intermediate School and Featherston Drive Public School.
The students learned how to plant a tree to make sure it would grow strong roots and mature. “With everything trees provide us, it’s important we make plans to sustain them,” Tree Canada president Michael Rosen told the students. “By taking part in tree planting events like this, we help make sure there will be trees for future generations.” The students also met the Tree Amigos: Penny Pine, Red
Spruce and Sophie Cedar, and had their photos taken with them. Last March, Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau’s motion proclaimed the Wednesday in the last full week in September as National Tree Day. He said he worked with Tree Canada and Rosen, who sent a letter to every MP last year, asking for support for the day. “Trees make life worth liv-
ing,” Galipeau told students. “They reduce energy costs, prevent water run-off, keep our waterways clean and purify our air.” National Tree Day falls
within National Forest Week, which is promoted by the Canadian Institute of Forestry. “Trees and forests are an important part of our heritage,” Galipeau said. “They
are, and always have been, essential to our well-being, our economy and even our identity as a nation. The whole world recognizes the maple leaf that’s on our flag.”

NEXT STEPS
Members of the public were set to have a chance to voice their opinions on a possible Ottawa casino during a finance and economic development committee meeting on Oct. 2, after this newspaper’s deadline. A report directing city staff to “research the economic benefits” of a gaming facility and consult Ottawa’s health department will be presented during that meeting. The committee’s recommendation will be considered by full city council on Oct. 10. If it gets the thumb’s up, Watson would write to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to signal that the city would support a new gaming facility in principle. In a press release that followed the Twitter announcement, the mayor said such a letter would not commit the city to a casino, but it would allow the OLG to issue a request for bids from possible casino builders. Sometime in 2013, when the bidding is complete and a proponent has been selected, the public will have another chance to tell members of the committee what they think about the idea.

“I’ve said all along that my preference would be close to transit and the urban core,” Watson said. “But that doesn’t preclude someone from out at the airport, or downtown, or the raceway from putting a bid together.” That’s exactly what the Rideau-Carleton Raceway intends to do, said spokesman Alex Lawryk. The raceway already has an existing facility and room for parking, which would make it much cheaper to add to and convert into a casino, he said, adding that gambling in this region might not be prevalent enough to support a multi-million dollar investment in a new facility. When it comes to the mayor’s support for a more urban location, Lawryk said: “Obviously we’re not enthralled.” While city council declared its unanimous support for more gambling at the raceway last summer by authorizing gaming tables as a pilot project, it now appears that support has run dry, he said. “There is no clarity from council on this issue,” Lawryk said. The raceway couldn’t even get its gaming tables program underway because OLG announced a modernization of its gambling program a month later, effectively putting gaming tables on ice. A location wouldn’t be decided until the second phase and it would be up to possible casino developers to propose a location. The city would have the final say over rezoning a site to accommodate a new gambling facility. Officials from Ottawa Tourism and the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce chimed in
on the mayor’s press release, stating that a gaming facility could drive economic development and increase tourism in the city. “An Ottawa gaming facility could bring tremendous economic benefits to existing Ottawa businesses,” David Donaldson, chairman of the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce, said in the statement sent out by the mayor’s office. “Proceeding in this process will make potential investors confident that the City of Ottawa is willing to consider a proposal.”
R0011655105
EMC news - Mayor Jim Watson is backing a new casino for Ottawa and he’ll ask the rest of city council to do the same. The mayor took to Twitter to announce his support for an Ottawa casino on Sept. 24. “I will ask council to signal interest, in principle, in a new gaming facility (no location yet). This would allow the (Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation) to seek proposals,” the mayor wrote on his Twitter account. An Ottawa casino would help the city earn more revenue at a time when aging infrastructure costs are creeping up, Watson said. He is proposing to spend revenue from a new casino equally on infrastructure renewal, job creation and economic development. “Every Ottawa dollar spent at the Gatineau casino is a dollar lost for Ottawa taxpayers – it is time that we repatriate that money and use it to create jobs here in Ottawa,” Watson said in the statement. “With infrastructure challenges and federal job cuts in Ottawa, we cannot miss out on a tremendous opportunity like this.” From Casino Lac-Leamy in nearby Gatineau to church-basement bingos, gambling is already available and prevalent, Watson said. “My view is, let’s repatriate some of that money from Quebec and put it into the Ontario economy through jobs, economic development and to help pay for some of our infrastructure,” Watson said. The mayor added that Ottawa has the “worst of both worlds” right now because gambling revenue goes to Gatineau and Quebec across the river, while Ottawa and Ontario must fund gambling addiction
programs for citizens who use the LacLeamy facility.

n one of our visits to Jeff’s parents, his mother and I went shopping in the local supermarket. In the bakery section, we came across a loaf of bread called a chop suey loaf. We could see that it contained fruit, not Chinese vegetables, and decided to give it a try. With a soft texture and bits of candied fruit scattered through each slice, it was delicious, plain or toasted. After
• 3/4 cup water • 1/4 cup skim milk powder • 1 egg • 1 tsp. salt • 1 tbsp. white sugar • 2 tbsp. butter or margarine, at room temperature • 2 1/3 cups flour • 1 cup candied fruit • 1/4 cup raisins • 1 1/4 tsp. bread machine yeast Before you start, measure the candied fruit into a sieve and rinse it under cold water to remove excess sugar or
syrup. Spread the fruit on two sheets of paper towel and blot up as much of the water as you can. Set aside. If your machine has an “extras” option allowing the user to add fruit or nuts automatically, measure the raisins into that section. If it doesn’t, you will have to add the raisins later. Place the water, milk powder, egg, salt, sugar and butter in the bread machine pan in that order. After measuring the flour, use about two tablespoons of it to lightly dust the candied fruit. Place the remaining flour in the bread pan and then add the floured fruit. Leave a small area free of fruit, and measure the yeast into that spot – you don’t want the
yeast sticking to the fruit and not mixing into the batter. Set the bread machine for the “sweet” cycle or on some machines it’s called the “fruit and nut” cycle. If it has the automatic “extras” feature, press the “extras” button. Don’t use the “delay” cycle. This recipe makes a 1.5pound loaf. If your bread machine has a setting for different loaf sizes, press the one for this size. Start the machine. If your machine doesn’t have the “extras” feature, it will beep when it is time to add extras. Add the raisins and let the machine continue until the bread is done. Remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool for an hour before serving.
Hélène Campbell, Facebook join forces Steph Willems

EMC news - Ottawa’s Hélène Campbell brought her message of organ donation awareness to a new venue on Sept. 17, but this time she was launching an even larger initiative - on Facebook.

The aim of the initiative, which has already been launched in the United States and Britain, is to spread awareness of the need for donors and encourage those who haven’t signed up to consider becoming donors. The tool not only allows users to post their donor status, it also directs Facebook users to provincial or territorial websites where they can sign up. “We believe that simply telling people you care about that you’re a donor will play an important role in encouraging others to become donors,” said Banks. “More organ donors means more lives saved.” The tool can be accessed through the “life event” catego-

Plenty to be thankful for this time of year
E
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories I am thankful I lived in an era where the owner of the general store trusted his customers. Where you filled your own bag of cookies, put it on the scale yourself and had the cost added to your mother’s bill which hung on a nail behind the counter. And if you didn’t have the money to pay for your groceries, you could offer a trade. Sometimes weeks would go by and no money changed hands. It was a time when a young child was taught that honesty was all a part of doing business. I am thankful today that I grew up in an era where a deal was made with the simple shake of a hand and it was binding. It didn’t take a lawyer to draw up papers to trade a couple head of cattle for an old Model T or a load of hay or to exchange a steer or a few loads of gravel for your first car.
Today, I am thankful I grew up in a home where there wasn’t a lot of money for frivolities. It was a time when we children made our own fun. Toys from a piece of whittled wood, playthings like empty spools of thread, a button box and Eaton’s catalogue, all filling hours of fun and not costing a penny. I am thankful today that because we lived in a house overflowing with aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandparents, I learned at an early age what it meant to be tolerant. I was taught that it was more blessed to give than receive. In giving up our bed for an elderly aunt, Mother reminded us how the aunt enriched our lives with her stories, her hand-knitted mitts, and pans of Johnny Cake, the best I have ever tasted. Today, I am thankful we

had a wonderful doctor who would drive out from Renfrew, plowing through snow and blinding rain and whose only pay might be a dressed chicken or a couple dozen eggs and some fresh butter. I remember him sitting by the bed of a very sick little girl until the dawn crept into my bedroom window and my fever broke. I am thankful today that I grew up in a home where every child had a special worth. Where even the youngest was made to feel important and daily chores, done to a parent’s satisfaction, was all part of growing up. We were taught that it was all right to fail, and that from each failure came a lesson.This is the legacy handed down to us by a generation of people who, although never rich in material wealth, were rich in the things that mattered. This is the time to be thankful for that era that made us what we are today and to be truly thankful for all the blessings we enjoy today living in a free and bountiful country. May each of you have a happy Thanksgiving.

very day back in the ’30s, according to Mother, was a day of thanksgiving. Looking back, there was indeed much to be thankful for. And as Thanksgiving is upon us, perhaps it is appropriate that those things we took for granted so many years ago, should be remembered. So what are some of the memories of those Depression years that have lasted through the decades? Those that in recalling them have me wondering what has happened to what we took for granted so long ago? Let me turn back the clock and take you back to a more gentle time, as I recall with thankfulness lessons learned and a way of life that was more safe and secure. I will be forever grateful that I lived in a time when it was perfectly safe to walk five kilometres of back country roads to a school without fear. Even in the cities so far away children felt secure and a mother’s warning was not to be wary of strangers, but rather to keep out of the ditches of water so that we wouldn’t catch our deaths of cold.

REAL ESTATE Home renovations could increase property taxes Your Community Newspaper
repairs -- even planting a garden -- could lead to higher property taxes. Although the vast majority of repairs that most often affect taxes include major renovations, there are lesser known repairs that can catch even savvy homeowners by surprise. Here is a look at some of the renovations that could raise your property taxes. * Adding a room: Converting the garage into a bedroom or adding on a new bathroom will increase your home’s value and the property tax you’ll pay on the home. Although tax assessors don’t usually make surprise trips to your home to check for renovations
If you live in New York’s Nassau County, you are possibly paying some of the highest property taxes in the country. Nassau County residents had an average property tax bill of nearly $8,500 in 2011. Understanding property taxes is not very cut and dry. They are supposed to rise and fall with home values, but this isn’t always the case. There is roughly 80,000 pages of federal code on property taxes, and each state and town often has its own rules governing how property taxes are assessed. State and local budget cuts can raise taxes even if your home value remains the same, as will an increase of benefits for public employees. Property tax is typically the primary means that many jurisdictions raise revenue. So if your community needs money, you can probably count on it financing that need through higher property taxes. The two things that determine property taxes are the assessed value of your home and the property tax rate for where you live. In many cases, making improvements to the inside and outside of your home can result in higher taxes on your property. Many homeowners do not think about the tax man when they are about to renovate their home. But it is important to consider that home
indoors, they may peruse permits filed at the clerk’s office and then investigate. Permits are the primary way assessors learn about improvements, so much so that some homeowners look to circumvent permits when making renovations. But that can cause a number of problems down the line if and when you decide to sell. * Pools and outdoor structures: Changes to a home’s exterior are some of the easiest to see and document. Permanent changes outdoors, such as the installation of a shed with a concrete floor, a deck or a pool can definitely increase property taxes. * Landscaping: Hiring a
professional to do your lawn and plants can result in higher taxes. It’s called “alteration of land improvement.� Repaving a driveway or adding a new cement walkway may also increase your home’s value and, subsequently, your property tax bill. * Fireplaces: The installation of a fireplace can also increase a home’s value, leading to a higher tax bill as well.
The addition of a pool or outdoor landscaping can raise property values and property tax.

Algonquin students call for a stop on bus fare old student. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli is sympathetic to the students’ plight. “I think we have to look at why we were giving students a price break,� he said. “Is it because they are younger or because they are going to school during working hours and needed the help financially?� Chiarelli said he thinks it’s the latter; otherwise the city should do away with student bus passes and simply offer a discount to anyone under the age of 19. In 2009 city council voted to disqualify students over the age of 26 from getting a discounted pass. Students organized a broad campaign that forced an amendment to the city’s budget that year ultimately cancelling the age cap. Chiarelli guessed a human rights challenge has about a 50 per cent chance of succeeding, but he hopes to be able to work with the mayor and his council colleagues during the upcoming budget process to make the change and avoid a legal challenge.

A human rights challenge could be made with the province because it’s discrimination against older students, said Corson, who is a 48-year-
Both Carleton University and the University of Ottawa have the U-Pass, which provides bus passes to all students at a cost of $290 for the eight-month school year. The charge is included in the student fees each year. Students over 19 who stay in the city during summer months have
dents are within walking distance of the campus and don’t use transit to get to class. “I keep hearing about a U-Pass but without knowing what it entails, I can’t possibly agree to it,� Corson said. “It would be like saying yes to a blank piece of paper. If there are people at the city that think that’s a good idea I have some land in Florida to sell them.� The U-Pass made some waves at the universities when the students associations signed up a couple of years ago as well. Nine students at the University of Ottawa filed a class-action lawsuit against the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa in late 2010, asking to be reimbursed student fees they paid for the pass. The students alleged that the pass wasn’t properly explained to them. The two parties had a settlement conference a year later. “Students suing the association over the pass doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence about signing up for it,� Corson said. Corson said he and the students association will try to push the city to keep the fares fair and hopes the council will see reason. “Right now we are talking through our lawyer because we haven’t been able to have a conversation. But we are doing things step by step and hoping to find a resolution before we make a human rights challenge,� he said. With files from Laura Mueller

EMC news - The Algonquin College’s Students’ Association may take on the city in a legal challenge unless the new age restrictions on student bus passes are lifted. “Right now our lawyers are talking with the city,� said David Corson, president of the association. “It could be a human rights challenge.� An age restriction was placed on student bus passes during changes to the whole rate package as part of the intended introduction of the Presto payment cards. While Presto won’t be used until February, changes to student passes have already been implemented. The cutoff age for student bus passes is 19 under the new system – a cap that is supposed to align Ottawa Presto prices with those of other areas using the system such as the GTA and Hamilton. Corson said Ottawa could have set their own rates and age caps. “We understand there is a budget crunch at the city but the changes will mean millions coming off the backs of students. That’s not right,� he said. Right now students over the age of 20 will have to purchase an adult pass which is $30 more per month. In an Aug. 24 transit commission meeting, Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess asked Metrolinx CEO Bruce McCuaig if the student ages were “set in
to pay for an adult pass. The charge was voted in during a referendum held by the universities two students’ associations. But Corson said that’s not an option for the college. Right now no form of a U-Pass exists for Algonquin, La CitĂŠ CollĂŠgiale, St. Paul’s University or the city’s adult high schools. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson told council on April 25 that a U-Pass at those schools probably wouldn’t be made available until 2014. The U-Pass discount only works if the entire student body pays the fee for the pass. Annie Thomlinson, the marketing director for the Algonquin Students’ Association, said with the high number of commuters who use cars, it just doesn’t make sense for the college to go the U-Pass route. “We have a number of people coming from rural areas, who already pay $500 in parking here at the college; it doesn’t make sense to charge them for a bus pass,â€? she said. Corson said he represents a student body of more than 15,000 and he isn’t comfortable with the majority paying for the benefit of a minority. According to statistics from the college’s parking department, there are 7,000 students that use the bus to get to school. About 4,500 of those were over the age of 19 as of last year. Another 3,000 students park their cars at the school and another 4,000 stu-

United Way looks to raise $30 million Eddie Rwema/Metroland
More than 1,000 community leaders and supporters were on hand at United Way Ottawa’s 2012 community campaign launch breakfast at the CE Centre for the announcement of this year’s campaign goal of $30 million. R0011660723_1004
Community campaign launched on Sept. 27 Eddie Rwema
Eddie.rwema@metroland.com
We are all working together to resolve our community’s most critical challenges — now and for our future. Coun. Mathieu Fleury
“We are pretty confident that we are going to make our goal and again exceed it if possible,” said Poirier. Campaign co-chair, Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he was confident the charity would be able to reach this year’s mark. “United Way is a voice for giving and for philanthropy in our city,” said Fleury. “By supporting United Way, we are all working together to resolve our community’s most critical challenges – now and for our future.” The focus area champions will speak directly with donors about the importance of
the campaign and how their contributions are directly supporting United Way’s focus areas and making a difference to the community. “Both Mathieu and I have grown up in this city with a belief that we can make a difference. We have the legacy of so many leaders in this community and I’m proud to step up and take my place beside them – beside you,” said Poirier. Whether donors contribute to United Way’s community priorities or support the charity of their choice, their donations help to build a stronger, healthier and safer community for all, said a United Way press release. Donors can contribute through payroll deductions or online giving, corporate gifts and through special fundraising events. The money raised through the campaign ensures that people with disabilities, newcomers to Canada and seniors gain a greater sense of belonging to community. It also turns lives around for the homeless, youth with addictions and families dealing with poverty, mental illness and violence, said the United Way. R0011654670/1004
EMC news - The United Way Ottawa has lowered this year’s fundraising target after falling $1.5 million short of last year’s goal of $33.5 million. More than 1,000 people attended a rally at the CE Centre on Sept. 27, when the United Way officially launched the 2012 Community Campaign, announcing a fundraising target of $30 million – $3.5 million less than last year’s target. “We are being respectful of the economic dynamics of the community right now. “There are wage freezes, job cuts and we have a smaller public service this year. The goal reflects that and we are respectful of that,” said campaign co-chair and television
personality Angie Poirier. She urged those present at the launch to give, speak-up and take action to support the community.

Barbara Ann Scott King is joined by Mayor Jim Watson and others to officially open the Barbara Ann Scott Gallery at city hall on Aug. 9. King died on Sept. 30 at the age of 84.
Canada’s Sweetheart remembered in Ottawa Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
EMC news - Barbara Ann Scott King died on Sept. 30 at the age of 84, but her memory won’t fade from the city where she grew up. Canada’s sweetheart was a Sandy Hill native who trained at the Minto Skating Club and twirled on Dow’s Lake during Ottawa winters, and later achieved unmatched success. She is the only person to ever hold the European, North American, Canadian and World championship titles and the Olympic gold simultaneously. In the first Olympics after the Second World War in 1948, the then-teenager won the gold medal and quickly solidified her name as a Canadian sporting icon. She trained at Minto Skating Club, representing the same club as many Ottawa
championship skaters. Don Jackson skated with several of the same coaches as Scott King, and went on to become a world champion and Olympic bronze medalist before coaching and taking the executive director role at Minto. He said that even after she moved to Chicago, and eventually Florida, Ottawa was always home to Scott King. “She was always doing things for Minto when she could,” Jackson said. He can recall Scott King accepting invitation after invitation for events, speeches, and teas with Minto skaters. Because of her notoriety, she had to bring along a staff member to help corral the fans who wanted autographs at the peak of her popularity. “She was just like royalty, really, in figure skating,” he said. “It was good that she came back because of the his-
tory of skating; it gets pretty fuzzy after a while … It kept her alive in the eyes of the young skaters coming up and gave them somebody to see that won a gold, that they were able to achieve it too.” Scott King began skating at six years old, passing her gold figures test at 10 – the youngest in the world. Jackson remembers her stellar basics in her figures test – which no longer exists – which required such accuracy that it could be lost with one wrong flick of the blade. And at 19, clean basics and long training hours in Ottawa carried Scott King all the way to the major titles that catapulted her to legendary status in sports history. She was made an officer of the Order of Canada and a member of the Order of Ontario; she was also inducted into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame, the Skate Cana-
da Hall of Fame and the International Women’s Sports Hall of Fame. The Canadian Olympic Committee released a statement following her death, calling it a loss to the sporting community and all of Canada. “Ms. Scott’s grace and humility put her in a class of her own,” the statement said. “Her accomplishments will never be forgotten as she has paved the way for generations of figure skaters.” Jackson said Scott King continued to be a presence in the skating community and encouraged young skaters through the rollercoaster of competitive sport. “I really believe that she did enjoy those years, she worked hard. There are ups and downs in everyone’s careers,” he said. “She knew that she had inspired a lot of young skaters and she certainly was the one who inspired me.” Memorabilia from her career, including medals, was donated to city hall for the Barbara Ann Scott Gallery, which opened on Aug. 9. Scott King made the trip to Ottawa for the opening of the gallery with Mayor Jim Watson. “Just in her last few days of living, she came and donated all her medals to the city,” Jackson said. “It’s nice because in those days, the city was behind her.” At the opening, Scott King said the gallery is the perfect home for her collection. “I have always felt the collection belonged here in Ottawa … the city has always, always been so supportive,” she said “She certainly is going to be missed,” Jackson said. “But I think she certainly will be remembered because she is an icon.” With files from Laura Mueller

Photographer showcases the art of scars Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC news - After three years of preparation, a Katimavik photographer is gearing up for the first exhibition of his work documenting scarring of the human body. Scars: Portraits of Personal Journeys, by photographer Henry Fernando, will debut at the Spiral Gallery, located at 73 Aberdeen St. in Little Italy, on Oct. 11, from 6 to 9 p.m. The show will run until Oct. 21. “There’s so many amazing stories that’s come out of this,” he said, adding he’ll be self-publishing a coffee table book of his portraits. He said when he first set out on his journey he was expecting it to be very clinical – people would pose with their scars, he would photograph them, and that would be that. “What I didn’t expect were the amazing, amazing stories behind the scars.” One man who posed got his scar after he was mauled by two Rottweilers when he was a little boy. He lost part of his arm and has another scar on the back of his head from the attack. “He was one of the most positive people I’ve met throughout this whole journey,” said Fernando. Another was a kidney transplant recipient who said the reason she’s alive is because someone else died and donated their organ so she could live. “It’s impacted me,” he
said, adding it reinforces the idea that “there’s going to be something positive…from this whole journey.” SCARS
Fernando began his project as a way to deal with his own scar. He was left with a six-inch permanent reminder of his gallbladder surgery on his midsection. He said he was embarrassed, covering up at the beach and keeping his imperfection under wraps. Then one day, he came to the realization that “it is what it is…it’s not ugly or beautiful. It just is. “It’s nothing to be embarrassed about.” A self-portrait will also be included in the exhibition. “In our perfection-obsessed society, we can easily feel ashamed to show our scars as if we should be embarrassed by them,” he said. “I see scars as part of who we are, as visual evidence of a person’s resiliency, strength and victory over a personal struggle.” He said his portraits will challenge people to look at the subjects “just the way they are.” A number of the people he’s photographed will be at the vernissage on Oct. 11, he said. “It’s been a great, wonderful, positive experience,” said Fernando. “I hope people come and look at the images.” Fernando will be showcasing 25 of his portraits covering

Busy year ahead for art club Jessica Cunha

EMC news - The Kanata Art Club paints a bright picture for the year ahead with informative meetings, classes and workshops. The group, which caters to artists in Kanata, Stittsville, West Carleton and Nepean, meets on the second Wednesday of every month to listen to a guest speaker.
The upcoming meeting on Oct. 10 will feature watercolour artist Brenda Beattie of Constance Bay. “She does fantastic work,” said Moe Hussain, who’s been a member of the art club for six years. Anybody who has “an interest in art” can join the club, whether they have a medium or not. “Our members are not all top experts or professional artists,” he said. “It’s a wide range of people we have in the club…the newcomers learn from the older folks.” Hussain, who began painting with oils, taught himself encaustic painting – which uses hot wax to create art – last year after viewing an ex-

hibit at the Kanata Civic Art Gallery. “It’s totally different,” said the retired Health Canada employee. “The colours are more brilliant and it dries right away.” Hussain said he is inspired by a wide range of subjects: the planets, travel and landscapes. “I get (inspired) in a number of ways,” he said, adding it could be photos from a newspaper or magazine or a snapshot he’s taken on his travels. WORKSHOPS
The Kanata Art Club also hosts a number of four-day workshops every year, with the first being held Oct. 18 to 21 by Hi-Sook Barker on watercolour techniques. “It’s a good place to learn,” said Hussain. “We’re hoping it’s a big success.”
Lucy Manley will host the November workshop on oil painting. Established in the 1960s, the membership base has grown to more than 100 artists. “It grew and grew and grew,” said Hussain, adding the club is always looking for new members. The yearly fee is $30 and members have access to workshops, classes, the monthly meetings and art shows. “The club itself has two major shows every year,” said Hussain: a spring exhibition and sale at St. Isidore parish and a juried show with a hanging at the Kanata Civic Art Gallery. “We have so many wonderful things happening in our club, so many interesting things.” Application forms can be downloaded off the website at kac1.ca.

HELP PROTECT CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY
Your Community Newspaper
October is Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month More than 47% of adults in Ontario have been exposed to or know someone who is the victim of child abuse and neglect. In Ottawa alone, only 42% of residents claim to know how to report abuse directly to the CAS. These numbers suggest there are far too many vulnerable children and youth, without a voice, in our community. During Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month, through a variety of media outlets and social media tools, it is the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa’s mission to educate the public about the prevention of abuse.

Signs may not always be obvious in a child who has been abused or neglected. This is why it is our responsibility, as a community, to stay informed of the signs of abuse and learn when and who to call to help a child. “If your gut tells you that something’s wrong, then it probably is,” continues MacKinnon. Not all calls received by CAS result in an investigation, and only an extremely small percentage of investigations require that a child or youth be removed from the family home. Most often, the intervention involves simply connecting the family to services within the community. Last year, in more than 90 per cent of cases where CAS became involved, work was done with the family and the child stayed home.

“People feel it’s hard to infringe on parental rights, and they’re naturally hesitant to involve themselves,” says Barbara MacKinnon, Executive Director of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa. “When reporting to CAS, it doesn’t mean we are going to remove a child from their home. It is about assessing the situation and discovering whether the family may benefit from support services.”

Kanata Knights trample Giants EMC sports - The Kanata Knights Football Club tamed the Lions and trampled the Giants last week. The mosquito Knights defeated the Bel-Air Copeland Lions 14-6 at Robert Barr Football Field in Kanata on Wednesday, Sept. 26. Two days later, the midget Knights followed up with a 23-9 victory over the North Gloucester Giants at Robert Barr field on Friday, Sept. 28. The tyke and pee-wee Knights did not play.
The Knights entered Giants territory in their quest for the league title. Kanata seemed rattled early on as the Giants found a slight chink in their armour by taking a 2-0 the lead early on a safety. The Knights defence played their game, delivering bonecrushing hits. Consistency has been key all season with tackles evenly distributed. Defensive backs John Allarie and Jordon Gorgichuk led the way with four solo tackles each, while linebacker Brad Herbst had three. Defensive backs Sebastian Rios and Roger Collins had two each. Other notable defensive contributions came from linebacker Paul Hewitt with four assists and a fumble recovery, linebacker Hunter Bisschops, and defensive linesman

MIDGET
John Allarie each had three assists. Defensive linesman Jasmin Dervisevic had three assists, two batted balls and a fumble recovery. Not to be outdone, the offence fed off the team’s fine defensive play and dominated the hard-hitting Giants. Quarterback Matt Duffy showed why he is considered one of the best, going eight for 12 for 132 yards, rushing for two touchdowns (both two-yard runs) and throwing a two-yard touchdown to wide receiver Jaegar Prot. The rest of the scoring came off the foot of running back Cassy Aite who converted two points after touchdowns and added a 15-yard field goal. The running game was key punishing the defence for 215 hard earned yards. The attack was led by running back Jacob Legault with 19 carries for 97 yards, and Aite, nine carries for 85 yards, Prot, four carries for 16 yards and Duffy, nine carries for 17 yards. Duffy spread the ball around connecting with five different receivers: Prot three times for 67 yards and one touchdown, Aite once for 10 yards, wide receiver Andy Baxter once for 18 yards, tight end Jason Lachance once for 10 yards while wide receiver Josh Bourbonniere added two catches for 26 yards. Prot was one for one completing a seven-yard-pass to Duffy.

Knights string together back-to-back home wins square off in a rematch against the Nepean Redskins at home on Monday, Oct. 8, starting at 3:15 pm at Robert Barr.
Continued from page 33
Special teams were solid with Prot returning three punts for 54 yards while defensive back Gorgichuk had two returns for 62 yards. Aite had 223 yards on five kickoffs averaging more than 46 yards per kick. The Knights have improved their record to 4-1. Next, they
MOSQUITO
A key divisional battle against the Bel-Air Lions brewed at Bob Barr Wednesday night under a full moonlight. The atmosphere lit up even
brighter when running back Connor Ogilvie whipped around on a sweep behind some great blocking by Tyler Hendrycks and bolted 45 yards to the end zone for the first score. Although Kanata’s defence played the pass well, the Lions were able to get their ground game going in the second quarter and scored a touchdown
The energy of Kanata’s defence ignited the team’s offensive line as quarterback Jared Valentino was 4-4 in passes completed. A fearless David Wardowski was the recipient of three of the passes totaling 52 yards and he also had 32 rushing yards. Connor Ogilvie was a shining star all night and finished with 188 rushing yards, but
just before halftime. It was a seesaw battle in the third and fourth quarters until the Knights defence stepped it up a notch. Linebackers Shabach Kerr helped plugged the holes east to west with 10 tackles, while Tyrese Brown had a phenomenal game running north to south and managed an amazing 16 tackles.
what really energized the crowd was Valentino’s fouryard run for a touchdown that made Kanata cement a 14-6 lead. The defence played some smash mouth football in the game’s final minutes with key tackles from Jake Matheson, Connor Sigouin, Fiore Clark and Jay Vitagliano who recovered a fumble.

Mixed martial arts champ leads Kanata seminar David Johnston
respect yourself and others. That is a good foundation to build your life around. You also get self-confidence and self-esteem from knowing you can handle yourself in any situation.” Liborio said his training has helped him personally deal with the challenges of his life. “You have to take what life puts out, and never quit. This sport is all about discipline and creating a healthy body and mind.” Though he has a gentle demeanor and is quick to laugh, Liborio is certainly no pushover. He demonstrated to the group some of the key moves he has helped develop in the sport. One participant said the information flow was like “drinking from a fire hydrant,” but all agreed that the seminars with the master were motivating and enlightening.

Ricardo Liborio, centre in the front row, a three time Brazilian jiu-jitsu national champion, gave a two-day seminar at the Mixed Martial Arts and Fitness Academy in Kanata from Sept. 29 to 30.
FREE WSIB SEMINAR R0011643931
EMC sports - A former Brazilian jiu-jitsu national champion led a two-day training seminar at a martial arts school in Kanata last weekend. Ricardo Liborio spoke to students at the Mixed Martial Arts and Fighting Academy in Kanata, a school run by Stephane D’Amour, on Sept. 29 to 30. Liborio, who was awarded a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt in 1993 under master Carlson Gracie, said martial arts is more than a demanding athletic discipline, it’s a life force. Liborio is known as the leader of the mixed martial arts academy American Top
Team (ATT), and is considered by many to be the best Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and an all around legend of the sport. For the participants in the program, it was a chance to meet and work with one of the sport’s most revered masters. “Fighting is like a chess game,” Liborio told the group. “You have to look for an opening and then impose your game.” Though most of the attendees will never enter formal competition, Liborio said the training is not just for competition, but instead can help to create a full, balanced lifestyle. “I am passionate about this sport,” said Liborio. “I can do it all day. I am totally dedicated to learning everything I can.” He said the discipline involved in training also helps in other area’s of an athlete’s life. “Martial arts teach you to

The Ottawa Hospital Foundation kicked off its Tree of Life fundraiser last week, aiming to raise money for the expansion of the Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre. Pictured from left, are Dr. Jean Seely, head of breast imaging at the Ottawa Hospital, Bashir Surani of Shoppers Drug Mart and Tracy Power, a breast cancer survivor.
Campaign honours cancer patients Eddie Rwema

EMC news – The Ottawa Hospital Foundation kicked off a fundraiser last week to support the expansion of the Civic Campus’ breast health centre. The Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre needs more space and equipment to serve its growing list of clients, said Dr. Jean Seely, head of breast imaging at The Ottawa Hospital. The health centre has seen a 40 per cent increase in its number of patients since it opened 14 years ago, said Seely. The hospital foundation dedicated a Tree of Life to recognize Shoppers Drug Mart for its commitment to supporting women’s health in Ottawa on Sept. 27. The dedication marked the start of the seventh-annual Tree of Life campaign, which, this year will see employees at 47 Shoppers Drug Mart stores in Ottawa supporting the expansion of the hospital’s breast health centre. “Every year, more than 30,000 women walk through the doors of The Ottawa Hos-
pital Breast Health Centre,” said Seely, adding that 1,000 of them will be diagnosed with breast cancer. The campaign, which runs for four weeks, encourages customers to purchase and personalize their own paper leaf for a loonie, a “maple leaf” for $5 or a paper apple for $50. Each leaf sold will represent a donation to the centre and will then become part of the store’s Tree of Life display. “The funds raised by Shoppers Drug Mart will allow us to be ready for patients when they need us the most,” said Seely. Representatives from Tree Canada were on hand to distribute free saplings so event attendees could plant a tree in honour of those who have, and who are currently fighting the disease.
The expanded centre will provide patients with a bright and pleasant environment that addresses all women’s breast health needs in one location and with greater efficiency, said Seely. “The huge increase in the number of patients has meant that we can’t have the number of professionals that we need to provide excellence in breast care,” she said. “The number of patients has doubled and we aren’t able to offer that centralized access to diagnosis and care the way we want to.” Though mortality for breast cancer has decreased by 30 per cent in Ontario, Seely said breast cancer is still the leading cause of cancer death for women in North America. “It is a very big problem, but with early treatment and
diagnosis we are able to have phenomenal outcomes,” she said. A wife and a mother of two, Tracy Power never thought she would be diagnosed with breast cancer, until she was told she had an aggressive form of the disease last October. “I embarked on a journey of a multitude of tests, breast cancer surgery and six rounds of chemo,” she said. Power said breast cancer isn’t the death sentence it used to be and there is no reason for patients to think they can’t get through it.

YORK, Jamie In loving memory of our dear Jamie who left us so suddenly and tragically while at work, October 6, 2009. He is gone, but not forgotten, And, as it dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of him are always near. Days of sadness will come o’er us, Many think the wound is healed, But they little know the sorrow, That lies in the heart concealed.

Ottawa resident urges others to get their eyes checked their eyes go,” said Powell. “Get your eyes checked regularly.” AMD is the leading cause of vision loss in Canadians over 50. One million Canadians have some form of AMD, including 462,000 people in Ontario. With an aging population, the number of people with the disease is expected to double in the next 25 years. But the good news is there are things people can do to minimize their risk. “There are a number of lifestyle choices that can be very effective in the prevention of vision loss from AMD,” said Dr. Keith Gordon, CNIB’s vice-president of research. “Things like not smoking, eating a diet rich

in leafy greens and omega-3 fatty acids, wearing sunglasses and exercising regularly are all proven to help maintain vision health. “Early diagnosis is extremely important to prevent vision loss. Especially if you’re over 50, you really need to be getting your eyes examined on a regular basis. New treatments for AMD are quite effective, but the earlier the disease can be diagnosed, the better the outcomes.” For more information and resources on AMD, visit cnib. ca/amd.

EMC news - When Pierrette Powell, 68, was diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), her life changed in an instant. She could no longer drive, read or see the faces of friends and family members. AMD causes damage to the central part of the retina responsible for seeing fine details (such as reading print or seeing faces). People with AMD experience blurred central vision and a growing central blind spot. For 90 per cent of all AMD cases, vision loss occurs slowly, usually over a number of years, and may cause few or no symptoms until it’s more advanced. That was the case for Powell, a retired secretary. “There was no warning. It was such a shock. I didn’t know what to think,” said Powell. “People would stop me in the mall and I would feel so badly. I could see their bodies but not their faces.” It didn’t take long for Powell to reach out to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB). Powell has received a number of services including independent living services where she learned safe methods for using household appliances and how to keep track of her phone numbers.
She also learned that travelling alone doesn’t have to be scary. In fact, Powell discovered it can be a liberating experience, with CNIB specialists there every step of the way while she learned street crossing techniques and how to use a white cane. But, the turning point came when Powell met others who were going through similar circumstances. A CNIB peer support group helped her to gain understanding and advice from others who have experienced the emotional and social side of vision loss. In recognition of AMD Awareness Week, Powell is encouraging all Ontarians to see their optometrist. “A person should not let

Someone is not telling you the entire story, Aries. However, you will find a way to fill in the missing details. What you learn will come as a big surprise. Taurus, reach out to friends and family members for some support. A helping hand always can lift the spirits, and those closest to you will be happy to help. Gemini, you are strong and determined, so the obstacles that arise this week will be no match for you. Just keep up the positive thinking and you will prevail. Cancer, this week is not the time to harbor secrets. It’s a good policy to always be open and honest with the people with whom you interact on a regular basis. Leo, allow a friend to be the center of attention so he or she can enjoy his or her moments in the sun at an upcoming social event. Your magnetism can be addicting.
Capricorn, you are ready for a change, but haven’t zeroed in on just what to do as of yet. A deep conversation later this week just might reveal all of the answers. It’s best to act while your motivation is high, Aquarius. Otherwise you are prone to extended periods of inactivity. Make the most of your productive moments. Pisces, you serve as educator this week, and it suits you just fine. It boosts your spirits to help others in unique ways.
