City to roll the dice on casino Laura Mueller

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 OLG (Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation) to seek proposals,” the mayor stated through his Twitter account, @Jim WatsonOttawa. 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 churchbasement 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.

Harvest festival around the corner By Joseph Morin

joe.morin@metroland

The Manotick harvest Festival is a welcome tradition in this part of rural Ottawa that brings visitors and residents together for a great day of family fun. The one-day event takes place in the village of Manotick on Oct. 6. This is the seventh Manotick Harvest Festival hosted by the Manotick Business Improvement Area (BIA). The business organization has made each harvest festival as good as or better than the last one.

“We have the whole village decorated,” said Manotick BIA executive director Donna Smith. “It is all in place.” Members of the Manotick BIA have decorated their store front especially for the fall season. Included in the festival are horse drawn wagon rides, buskers who will travel from store to store entertaining everyone in sight and face painting for the children and a performance by the ever popular Junkyard Symphony, all of it free. “Just bring your imagination,” Smith said.

Many of the events will take place in Dickinson Square – home to Watson’s Mill. Watson’s Mill manager Isabelle Geoffrion is looking g forward to the festival. “Families can take part in a pumpkin decorating event,” she said. There will be lots of pumpkins to choose from. The event is free. There will also be a market taking place right across from the mill at the carrot shed. Many of the vendors at the market have also attended the regular Manotick Farmers’ Market and there will be a few new ones there

just for the festival. A special event, the endof-season used-book sale will also be taking place at the carrot shed. The sale is expected to be a bit of a blowout and will be hosted by the Friends of Watson’s Mill. The Rideau Township Historical Society will be on hand at Dickenson House. “There will be milling demonstrations and an outdoor clay oven,” said Geoffrion. “We will be baking in it during the day.” The baking demonstrations begin at 11 a.m. and continue to 3 p.m.

In March, Rideau Carleton Raceway employee Suzanne McDonald spoke to patrons about the issues facing the horse racing industry in Ontario now that OLG is ending its slots at racetracks program. The future is so far unclear for the Ottawa South racetrack and its popular slots facility, especially now that the mayor is calling for a new casino in an urban area of the city. 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.” 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 (FEDco) meeting on Oct. 2, after this newspaper’s deadline. In an unusual move, the meeting was held in the eve-

ning to make it easier for residents to come to city hall and participate in the discussion. A report directing city staff to “research the economic benefits” of a gaming facility and consult Ottawa Public Health will be presented during that meeting.FEDco’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 FEDco what they think about the idea. When it comes to concerns that the mayor is putting the cart before the horse by declaring his support in principle before hearing from the public and about the impacts from Ottawa Public Health, Watson said it doesn’t make sense to do that research if council decides not to back a new casino, so declaring conditional support is the first step.

New chemical to be tested against emerald ash borer Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - An experimental chemical insecticide and a different way to process infected ash wood are two new ways the city is fighting the emerald ash borer. Two dozen Ottawa trees will be injected with a new insecticide called Confidor over the next couple of weeks, making the city only the second Canadian municipality to try the treatment against the beetles, which burrow under ash trees’ bark, slowly killing them. Its recent Health Canada approval means it isn’t even available for sale yet, so Ottawa is getting the insecticide for free from the company as it assesses Confidor’s effectiveness and impact. That announcement came with news that the beetles have spread farther across the city. New locations identified this year include: Barrhaven, Kanata North, Fitzroy Harbour, Stittsville, Richmond, Manotick, Metcalfe, Vernon, Vars and Navan. Environment committee chairwoman Coun. Maria McRae said it is “pretty frightening” how quickly the emerald ash borer is spreading

across Ottawa. The beetle was first identified here in 2008. The city has already injected 2,309 trees with an insecticide called Tree Azin, including 262 new trees as part of $1 million in extra EAB funding approved by city council in July. The city expects to have 4,000 to 5,000 trees on a two-year inoculation cycle by the end of 2013. Some trees can’t be saved by Tree Azin insecticide injections at a cost of $200 to $400 per tree, so the city has a strategy to plant a variety of species to replace them. The city will have planted just shy of 4,000 new trees in 2012 by this fall: 1,267 trees were planted along streets and in parks this spring, and another 2,700 will be planted this fall thanks to the rest of that $1 million in extra funding. The city will send a notice to residents on streets where planting will occur before planting a new tree beside a dying ash tree. If the tree is a city tree on private property, that property owner will be a second notice before the city comes to plant the new tree, and a marker will be placed on their lawn to show them where the new tree will go. In the future, McRae hinted that the city would be open to

adding a new tool into its arsenal: biological pests. Wasps are being used to fight the emerald ash borer in Minnesota, and Ottawa’s forester is watching to see if it’s something worth talking about for this city. Infested ash wood will no longer be shipped or stored at the city’s Trail Road landfill site. Ottawa Cedar Lumber, a company located just east of Ottawa, successfully bid to sort and process the city’s ash. According to the city, the family company at 2188 Dunning Rd. in Cumberland operates a sawmill and has been producing rough-cut wood and large volumes of wood chips for the past eight years. Owner Luc Laplante said he plans to turn much of the usable wood into lumber for flooring or furniture, but the city has discussed buying back some of the wood at a reduced rate to be used in the future light rail stations, perhaps for benches or wood paneling. The leftovers can be turned into chips for co-generation energy production. Signing on with Ottawa Cedar Lumber will reduce the risk of spreading the bugs by minimizing the processing time and moving the wood di-

Councillors want rural LED signs Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a list of restrictions. Those rules will make Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s digital billboards the dimmest and most restricted advertising screens in the country, said Peter Giles, a project and program manager with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 estimated that 22 of the 393 documented conven-

tional billboards in the city could be converted to digital billboards under the new rules. That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t please some councillors on the planning committee, including Barrhaven councillor and planning committee vice chairwoman Jan Harder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You said we are going to be the most restrictive in the country. The question is, why? Why do we need to be?â&#x20AC;? Harder asked city staff during the Sept. 25 meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just think this is way overly cautious.â&#x20AC;? 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 Hubleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is the benefit to our constituents? I think we have the time and the benefit of

being cautious,â&#x20AC;? Hobbs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should be considering enhancements to our public spaces instead of just a revenue stream.â&#x20AC;? Allowing digital signs will allow for the city to charge $2,500 for a digital billboard permit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $700 more than a conventional billboard. For sites that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. OrlĂŠans Coun. Bob Monette was concerned that the city wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be making enough money from digital billboards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My only concern is that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not getting enough bang for our buck,â&#x20AC;? Monette said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re almost breaking even, we should be doing better than breaking even.â&#x20AC;? Until now, the only types of digital signs allowed were digital scrolling text as part of â&#x20AC;&#x153;message centreâ&#x20AC;? 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.

This digital billboard on St. Laurent Boulevard near Tremblay Road was part of a study of the lit billboards that the city is aiming to allow in more urban areas.

Sweaty Betty’s bringing fitness classes into Kemptville Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Fitness instructor Stephanie Neville wants to fill a void in Kemptville and offer women’s fitness classes that are easily accessible and require little to no gym equipment to keep healthy. Neville has opened Sweaty Betty’s Fitness, with outdoor classes beginning at Riverside Park this month. The classes, which are open to women only, are bootcamp style and include a mix of strength training, cardio exercises and high-intensity intervals. “It works well for all different fitness levels,” Neville said. “Because there are different modifications for exercises to make them easier or harder.” Neville, a certified personal trainer, has taught similar classes in Ottawa. She’s grown up in Kemptville and is a current resident, so it was a natural fit to bring her high energy classes closer to home. “I started in Kemptville because I’d heard there was a demand for more fitness options, especially for women,” she said. “Some women are uncomfortable working out in a gym, so this is a really comfortable setting.” After studying sport business management at Algoqnuin College, Neville became

Public Information Sessions: Changing the zoning for land use in your Rural Village For more than a year, City staff have been talking with rural citizens about land use and zoning in preparation for the 2013 Official Plan review. This work is now complete and the next step is to explain how the new land use policies will change the City of Ottawa Zoning By-law as it applies to villages. The staff presentation will begin at 7 p.m. Ashton, Munster, North Gower, Richmond, Manotick, Fallowfield, Kars and Burritt’s Rapids Thursday, October 25 • 6 to 9 p.m. Alfred Taylor Recreation Centre, 2300 Community Way, North Gower

Brier Dodge/Metroland

Stephanie Neville is the fitness instructor behind Sweaty Betty’s Fitness, a new business she has started in the Kemptville area. certified to teach fitness classes, including her nutrition and wellness and older adult fitness specialist certificates through Canadian Fitness Professionals. She fell in love with teaching classes because she enjoys the energy and excitement from the participants, and feels satisfaction watching her clients increase their fitness. The bootcamps are twice a week, with options Monday and Wednesday from 6:30 to 7:30 a.m. and 6 to 7 p.m. or Tuesday and Thursday from 10 to 11 a.m. or 12 to 1 p.m. Classes cost $100 for a month of eight classes, or $200 for eight weeks of 16 classes. Once the weather gets

colder and the sunlight starts to fade, she will move the classes inside. Participants need a yoga mat, three-to-five-pound dumbbells if they wish to use them for strength training, and their workout wear to participate. “I’ve grown up in Kemptville, and I wanted to give people a fun option to get healthy and in shape and improve on their fitness,” she said. For more information visit Sweat Betty’s Fitness on Facebook, and like the page for a free class, or visit www.sweatybettysfitness.ca. Neville can be contacted for registration at 613-240-1450 or Stephanie@sweatybettys fitness.ca.

Participants at the 2011 meetings may be interested to see how residents’ concerns and ideas have been made part of the Village plans for the future and how the zoning by-law will be changed. The changes may affect some of the zoning designations in your village. What happens next? A zoning by-law amendment report is scheduled to go to the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) in January 2013. The report will be available on ottawa.ca one week before the ARAC meeting.

Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s casino wager the right call

espite the ethical hand-wringing that will inevitably accompany the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Race-

way 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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, â&#x20AC;&#x153;every Ottawa dollar spent at the Gatineau casino is a dollar lost for Ottawa taxpayers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is time that we repatriate that money.â&#x20AC;? 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 cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda in the coming years. But gambling revenues wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the only way building a casino could benefit the city. As the federal govern-

ment 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 wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just be a casino, however, as other hospitality businesses would benefit from a casinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 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 casinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future.

COLUMN

Life after the record storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demise CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

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 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next to impossible to rent a DVD. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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, Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Snidermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is online and it will take some getting used to. When Marshall McLuhan talked about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;global village,â&#x20AC;? he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the villagers would be solitary people at their computer screens.

Local women’s group releases grassroots guide Laura Mueller

October is Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month

laura.mueller@metroland.com

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. “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.” 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.

EMC news - Ottawa women who have made the journey from being disenfranchised to leading city-hall consultation groups want to tell you their secrets. Members of the City for All Women Initiative are a diverse group of women with varying cultural backgrounds, many of whom are refugees or have overcome abuse and now hold an ear at city hall. They have worked on a consultation strategy for the city’s recreation master plan, which is underway, and they helped develop an equity and inclusion lens that is used to judge how city reports address diversity and inclusion issues. The initiative’s latest project is a new book, Community Facilitation Guide: Weaving Threads of Change. Members know better than anyone that encouraging change at city hall is as much of an art as a science. “Now in the City of Ottawa there are many changes in policies,” said Valerie Assoi, a staffer for the initiative who helped author the book. “When there in change in policies, the city wants to know what the community feels … How (is city hall) going to know that if they don’t have people there (in the community)?”

Five of the key figures in creating the City for All Women Initiave’s guide to community engagement pose with the book. From left: Entisar Yusuf, Valerie Assoi, Senzeni Mapendere, Terri-Lee Rayvals-Mele and Tina Viscent. The tapestry in the foreground was woven by CAWI member Zahia Lahoua. That’s where the City for All Women Initiative’s training – and the book – come in. While the city may not have the resources to reach out to every facet of the community, the initiative can train and give people the skills to become facilitators in their communities and take those issues to city hall and decision makers. “This is helping to empower ourselves, our communities and future generations,” said Tina Viscent, one of the book’s authors.

The book provides an overview of the initiative’s approach to social change education and includes tips, exercises and handouts for facilitating workshops. Most importantly to the City for All Women Initiative, the guide offers straightforward and practical tools for including the voices of a diverse population, including immigrants, aboriginal peoples, francophone, people with disabilities and those living in poverty.

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.

Church group comes to aid of Cambodian children Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Brian McConaghy’s life was changed by a little girl he never met. After being shelled and shot at on the Thai-Cambodian border, McConaghy ended up in a Cambodian refugee camp. He heard stories of a little girl named Ratanak, who died because the communist regime wouldn’t allow medicine in the camp to treat the injuries she received while working in the country’s child sex trade. But it wasn’t that experience that led the forensic scientist with the RCMP to start Ratanak, the international charity that now rescues children who have been sold to pimps and brothels. It was the horror of watching seven young girls getting raped on video that forced him into action. McConaghy had been working on the Willy Pickton prostitute murder file when he was asked by the Vancouver City Police department to watch a series of videos. “I could walk away from the statistics of human trafficking,” he said. “But I couldn’t walk away from that. It changed me forever.” McConaghy found five of the seven girls he saw in the videos and brought them into the Ratanak fold. He couldn’t identify one child and one is still in the sex trade, but he said he will find her. McConaghy talked about the charity during a fundraiser held at the Centurion Conference Centre in Nepean on Sept. 27. The second annual Ladies Night Out was organized by the women’s group at St. Leonard’s Parish in Manotick. Organizer Sandy Russell said they had 240 women turn out this year.

“I think this cause resonates with women in Manotick because it’s a family community and we feel for the children,” she said. Russell, whose husband serves in the RCMP like McConaghy, said she has been to Cambodia and saw the organization at work. “I was blown away,” she said. McConaghy said there is hope to get the country turned around, but the political climate had a lot to do with fostering what he calls a haven for international pedophiles. In April 1975, a communist revolution decimated the country’s population. McConaghy said more than 3 million of the country’s 7.5-million population were killed during the uprising. “Basically anyone with more than a Grade 3 education was killed,” he said. “There’s a reason that they call it the Killing Fields.” The killings caused families to be torn apart, producing a generation that didn’t know how to be parents. “There was a lot of domestic violence with children subsisting by eating garbage off the streets,” McConaghy said. Many of the children sold into the sex trade are sent there by their families. They are started in the brothels as young as five. Because it is believed that having sex with a virgin has rejuvenating powers, their first clients pay an exorbitant sum to keep them in a hotel and have sex with them for a week. Then they are used goods and their value drops dramatically. In some cases the girls only earn $2 per customer. “There was no police, no judicial system and no family unit, so it’s a perfect storm for the child sex trade,” McCo-

naghy said. The New Song Centre, named for two girls who were rescued, basically abducts young girls from the brothels in order to save them from sex work. While McConaghy showed slides of the centre, he reminded the audience that he couldn’t show the front of the building as the address is secret to protect the girls. “The girls are product. We essentially have to steal them from the brothels. It’s no different than stealing cocaine from a dealer,” McConaghy said. Ratanak staff start working with girls before they rescue them. McConaghy said it’s tough to spend the day playing with little girls only to go back to your hotel knowing they are being assaulted. “They are just like other kids except they can’t sit down because of the abuse the night before,” he said. “Then you finish playing and they get painted up and ready for work.” Once rescued, girls are accepted into a Ratanak group home and led in a ceremonial dance by other rescued girls. For some it is the first time they get a bed of their own, not shared with other girls and middle-aged men. “Most of the time the girls are afraid of us. They think if we were able to steal them we are more powerful then the

BRIAN MCCONAGHY men who… raped them. They need the other girls to tell them they are finally safe.” Once there, the healing begins. There are currently 54 girls at the New Song Centre and 61 workers are on hand to deal with their complex emotional, physical and mental needs. “These girls are just ruined,” McConaghy said. “We are not talking about one or two sexual assaults, we are talking about thousands.” Girls are taught they are valued and given skills so they can work and make money without selling their bodies. They actually bake cakes – what McConaghy said were the best in Asia – for the country’s upper crust. “These are kids that were told they are lower than dirt

making cakes for the royal family and diplomats,” he said. “It really helps with their self worth.” And the country is slowing recovering. The University of Phnom Penh finally has a social work program and the government is co-operating with Ratanak’s efforts. “The ministry of social services is now putting us through the ringer making sure our programs are properly structured and I couldn’t be more pleased,” McConaghy said. Here in Canada Manitoba MP Joy Smith has been working on changing Canadian law to deal with human trafficking. Her son worked with the integrated child exploitation unit led by the RCMP, which gave her insight into a world she didn’t know existed. “Often the pimps will brand their victims,” she said. “And these kids are just ruined. But they can be brought back.” The Conservative MP was the driving force behind Bill C-310 – which gives the Canadian government the authority to go after Canadian citizens or permanent residents who commit human trafficking offences abroad. “It sends a clear message we won’t tolerate it,” she said. Both Smith and McConaghy said the hope comes from the children themselves. “A lot of people think that the children can’t come back

from some of the things they have had to endure, but with enough love they and understanding they can,” Smith said. McConaghy ended his talk with the story of a group of young girls who testified against a former U.S. Marine Captain named who had moved to Cambodia and bought seven young girls. He was arrested and brought up on molestation charges in the States, but the girls – who had been rescued by Ratanak – had to travel there to testify. “They had to fly and when they got off the plan they were surrounded by white males. They were terrified. But they all got up on the stand and testified for a grueling five hours,” McConaghy said. “After that we took them on a VIP tour of Disneyland.” The captain was given a prison sentence of 110 years. “I can live with that,” McConaghy said. He showed a slide of the seven young girls who testified in princess dresses whose faces were blocked out to protect their identity, and then one of the girls grown up. The girls had smiles on their faces and were on their way to building a better life. He continues to search for the last girl he saw being raped in the series of videos from the Vancouver police. “There’s still work to do,” he said.

Conservative MPPs wants city’s support for labour arbitration fixes Joseph Morin

joe.morin@metroland.com

EMC news - A group of Conservative MPPs are the first wave of politicians supporting new legislation that would affect the public sector arbitration process. The legislation, called The Ability to Pay Act, would tie public sector wage increases to real time financial realities. The trio of Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, Simcoe-Grey MPP Jim Wilson and Leeds and Grenville MPP Steve Clark have all

signed a letter sent to Mayor Jim Watson and Ottawa city council asking for their support. They want Ottawa to send back a resolution supporting their idea before it is debated at Queen’s Park on Oct. 4. The letter states, “Legislation that the Ontario PC Caucus tabled in the Ontario legislature would, if passed, fix Ontario’s broken public sector arbitration system that has, on far too many occasions, completely disregarded the ability of taxpayers to pay for wage increases, we know that your

Council is well aware of the problem.” MPP Lisa MacLeod said, “The province is facing a catastrophic economic forecast.” She added that during the last provincial election the idea of connecting the public sector arbitration process to the economic reality of municipalities was part of her party’s platform. “We are getting amazing support,” she said. The letter described the situations other municipalities found themselves dealing with arbitration decisions

imposed on them. They mentioned a situation in Windsor where the municipality has been waiting since 2006 for a final decision regarding their negotiations with firefighters. Windsor has been waiting since 2006 for a final decision on their negotiations with firefighters. “In the meantime,” states the letter, “the arbitrator awarded the firefighters’ union a $7.3 million “interim” wage increase of nearly 13 per cent. And that’s in Windsor, where the population and industrial base are both shrinking and the tax base is collapsing.” MacLeod believes the taxpayer will not be able to keep up with increasingly higher imposed costs saddled on the system by arbitration. “In smaller municipalities,” said MacLeod, “the ability to pay is much smaller.” The Ability to Pay Act would mean that arbitrators would not be able to use idea that future taxpayers would be the ones paying the future bills. The letter stated, “It would also require panels of three independent arbitrators to settle arbitration cases for broader public sector union contracts within a tight timeline of three months. The panels would be chosen from a roster approved by the Minister of Labour. A special department would be created. “The department would

collect and publish comparative data on compensation, as well as proactively disclose all arbitration awards,” stated the letter. “It would be easy for anyone to use,” said MacLeod. Arbitration decisions and the logic behind them would be transparent and available to the public. The arbitrators would have to include, in their decisions, specific local economic and budgetary criteria and explain in writing how

these objective criteria affected the decision. In another example of a bill a municipality has to pay without having a great deal to do with the final amount due the letter stated, “Last June,10,000 Transit Commission workers were awarded a six per cent increase over three years, costing riders $100 million for public transit employees who already earn $10,600 more than their private sector counterparts.

Sweet chop suey loaf is far from Chinese fare

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 some experimenting when I got home, I came up with a similar loaf that I could make in my bread machine. To make this, use the diced candied fruit that you use in holiday baking. The recipe calls for skim milk powder and water. In some recipes, you can substitute milk for the dry milk powder, but not in this one. Milk makes the loaf dense, while the skim milk powder gives a much lighter texture. Chop Suey Loaf

• 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

Polls show few Canadians trained in first aid

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff 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.

He’s still learning to play more gently with them, but he could play all day long. Tank has a busy body and an active mind, so he requires more demanding exercise and mental stimulation to keep him respectful in his home. For now, Tank should be in an adult-only home until he has some additional training. He’d rather not live with other dogs, but he has lived with a cat. Tank will need to be enrolled in obedience classes before his adoption can be completed. This will ensure he has the proper structure and discipline needed to be a good canine citizen.

Plenty to be thankful for this time of year MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories 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

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

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.

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. “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

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. 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 com-

munity 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 helps children to grow up great, ensures that disabled people, newcomers to Canada and seniors gain a greater sense of belonging to community, and turns lives around for the chronically homeless, youth with addictions and people and families dealing with poverty, mental illness and violence, said the United Way.

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.

Virgo, all that time and effort you put into past projects is certainly paying off now. It probably feels good to be back in the game and going along successfully.

Last week’s answers

Libra, you are ready to take a leap of faith, but make sure your parachute is on before you do so. Sometimes you tend to err on the side of risky. Scorpio, sometimes you take on too much. But you have a funny way of making it all work out. You will find this to be the case with a situation that presents itself this week. Sagittarius, if you keep pushing someone to their limits you may not be happy with the results. It might be a better plan to go with a softer method of inspiration. 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.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Leo, 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.
